Question

According to MOT, $C_2$ molecule has

$one\, s and\, one\, \pi-bond.$

only two $\pi-bonds.$

only two $s-bonds.$

$one\, s\, and\, two\, \pi\, bonds.$

Answer

only two $\pi-bonds.$

Explanation

Solution

$C_2(12)=s 1s^2, s^* 1s^2, s2s^2, s^* 2s^2, \pi 2p^2_x \approx\pi 2p^2_y$ $C_2$ has two pairs of electrons in $\pi2p_x\, and\, \pi2p_y$ therefore, it has only two $\pi$ -bonds.
