$$L{i_2} = \sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2},$$ ∴ Bond order $$\, = \frac{1}{2}\left( {4 - 2} \right) = 1$$
$$Li_2^ + = \sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^1},$$ $$B.O.$$ $$ = \frac{1}{2}\left( {3 - 2} \right) = 0.5$$
$$Li_2^ - = \sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2}{\sigma ^*}2{s^1},$$ $$B.O.$$ $$ = \frac{1}{2}\left( {4 - 3} \right) = 0.5$$
The bond order of $$Li_2^ + $$ and $$Li_2^ - $$ is same but $$Li_2^ + $$ is more stable than $$Li_2^ - $$ because $$Li_2^ + $$ is smaller in size and has $$2$$ electrons in Anti bonding orbital whereas $$Li_2^ - $$ has $$3$$ electrons in Anti bonding orbital. hence $$Li_2^ + $$ is more stable than $$Li_2^ - $$

Which of the following molecules has the maximum dipole moment?
$$C{O_2}$$ and $$C{H_4}$$ have zero dipole moment as these are symmetrical in nature. Between $$N{H_3}$$ and $$N{F_3}.$$ $$N{F_3}$$ has greater dipole moment though in $$N{H_3}$$ and $$N{F_3}$$ both, $$N$$ possesses one lone pair of electrons.
This is because in case of $$N{H_3},$$ the net $$N - H$$ bond dipole is in the same direction as the direction of dipole of lone pair but in case of $$N{F_3},$$ the direction of net bond dipole of three $$ - N - F$$ bonds is opposite than that of the dipole of the then lone pair.

Which of the following compounds does not the violate octet rule?
In $$PO_4^{3 - }$$ ion, the formal charge on each $$O$$ atom of $$P-O$$ bond $$ = \frac{{{\text{Total charge}}}}{{{\text{No}}{\text{. of }}O{\text{ atoms}}}}$$ $$ = \frac{{ - 3}}{4} = - 0.75$$

Though covalent in nature, methanol is soluble in water, why?
A
Methanol is transparent like water.
B
Due to hydrogen bonding between methanol and water molecules.
C
Due to van der Waals' forces between methanol and water.
D
Due to covalent attraction forces.
Answer :
Due to hydrogen bonding between methanol and water molecules.
Generally, $$A{B_5}$$ molecules have trigonal bipyramidal structure due to $$s{p^3}d$$ hybridisation but in some cases due to presence of lone pair of electrons, its geometry becomes distorted.

According to molecular orbital theory, which of the following will not be a viable molecule?
NOTE THIS STEP: Write configuration ofall species. Half filled and full filled orbitals are more stable as compared to nearly half filled and nearly full filled orbitals.
$$L{i^ - } = 1{s^2},2{s^2};B{e^ - } = 1{s^2},2{s^2},2{p^1}$$
$${B^ - } = 1{s^2},2{s^2},2{p^2}:\,{C^ - } = 1{s^2},2{s^2},2{p^3}$$
∴ $$B{e^ - }$$ will be least stable. It has lowest I.E.
