QUESTION:

Explain the origin of the term symbol 3g for the ground state of dioxygen.

ANSWER:

Problem 14.1

Explain the origin of the term symbol  for the ground state of dioxygen.

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

The process of the determination of the term symbol for dioxygen -

 represents the component of total orbital angular momentum along the internuclear axis.

It is depends upon the value of , which is the sum of the  (angular momentum) values of electrons present in the molecule.

In oxygen the two unpaired electrons are present in  anti bonding molecular orbital and for those electrons    has value either +1 or -1 depending upon their arrangement.
