Vedclass · Answer

(C) The electronic configuration of $Li$ is $1s^2 2s^1$. Total electrons in $Li_2^+$ is $3+3-1 = 5$. The configuration is $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^1$. Bond order = $\frac{1}{2}(N_b - N_a) = \frac{1}{2}(3 - 2) = 0.5$.Total electrons in $Li_2^-$ is $3+3+1 = 7$. The configuration is $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^1$. Bond order = $\frac{1}{2}(4 - 3) = 0.5$.Since both have a positive bond order,both are stable.
