Question

The conversion of $ICl$ to $ICl^+$ involve(s)

• A. the removal of an electron from a $\pi^*$* molecular orbital of $ICl$
• B. an increase in the bond order from 1 in $ICl$ to 1.5 in $ICl^+$
• C. the formation of a paramagnetic species
• D. the removal of an electron from a molecular orbital localized predominantly on Cl

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, C

The correct option is (A): the removal of an electron from a $\pi^*$* molecular orbital of $ICl$, (B): an increase in the bond order from 1 in $ICl$ to 1.5 in $ICl^+$ and (C): the formation of a paramagnetic species
