Acetylene (C2H2) can be produced from the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water. Draw the localized electron orbital model (hybridized orbital model) for the acetylide anion (C22-), showing ?, ?, and lone pair electron orbital.
Draw the molecular orbital diagram for the acetylide anion (C22-). Assume that order of the n=2 molecular orbitals in increasing energy is
What is the bond order in acetylide anion (C22-)?
Is this ion paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
