In diatomic molecules, the orbitals ( u 2p x, u 2p y, g * 2p x and g * 2p y ) molecular orbitals constructed by the 2p x and 2p y AOs are degenerate in energy. They are often collectively labeled as just one set of orbitals, u 2p, g * 2p. How many electrons can be placed into the u 2p (or the g * 2p) orbital? (A) The atomic 2p subshell can have 6 electrons. Since we have 2 atoms, we can fill 12 electrons into the u 2p orbital. (B)Each atomic 2p x and 2p y orbital can carry 2 electrons, making a total of 4 per atom. Therefore, the u 2p orbital can have 8 electrons. (C) Each atomic 2p x and 2p y orbital can carry 2 electrons, making a total of 4 per atom. Since we have to distribute the orbitals into the bonding u 2p orbital and the antibonding g * 2p orbital, the u 2p orbital and the g * 2p orbital can take 4 electrons each. (D) The atomic 2p subshell can have 6 electrons per atom. Since we have to distribute the orbitals into the bonding u 2p orbital and the antibonding g * 2p orbital, the u 2p orbital and the g * 2p orbital can take 6 electrons each.
