In the molecular orbital diagram for the molecular ion, $N_2^ + $ , the number of electrons in the ${\sigma _{2p}}$ molecular orbital is

 

A

$0$

B

$2$

C

$3$

D

$1$

(JEE MAIN-2018)

Solution

Total electrons in  $N_2^ +  = (7 \times 2) – 1 = 13$

$N_2^ +  \to {\sigma _{1{s^2}}},\sigma _{1{s^2}}^*,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}},\sigma _{2{s^2}}^*,[\pi _{2{p_x}}^2 = \pi _{2{p_y}}^2]\sigma _{2{p_z}}^1$

Number of electron in ${\sigma _2}_{{p_z}}$ is $1$
