Problem 81E

Hydrogenation reactions are used to add hydrogen across double bonds in hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. Use average bond energies to calculate rxn for the hydrogenation reaction.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1 of 3

Solution:Step-1 + -The electronic configuration of CN , CN and CN ions, can be predicted from its MO electronicconfigurationTotal number of electrons in CN = 6+7=13Hence the electronic configuration = 1s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2 2 2 x2p y 2p z - Total number of electrons in CN ion= 6+7+1=14Hence the electronic configuration = 1s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2 2 2 22p 2 2p 2 x y zTotal number of electrons in CN ion= 6+7-1=12+ 2 2 2 2 2 2Hence the electronic configuration = 1s *1s 2s *2s 2p x 2p yStep-2(a)Bond order of CN = number of electron in bonding atomic orbital number of electron in antibonding orbital 2 = 94 =5/2=2.5 2Bond order of CN ion = - number of electron in bonding atomic orbital number of electron in antibonding orbital 2 = 104 =6/2=3 2 number of electron in bonding atomic orbital number of electron in antibonding orbitalBond order of CN ion = + 84 2 = 2 =4/2=2As it is known that the bond order is directly proportional to the bond strength i.e higher thebond order stronger will be the bond strength.Thus the order of bond strength will be, CN > CN >CN ion - + Step-3(b) Among all these molecules, CN has only 1 unpaired electron and hence it is paramagnetic.
