When we looked at assigning the electrons in nitrogen to sites in the 2s and 2p

Question

When we looked at assigning the electrons in nitrogen to sites in the 2s and 2p orbitals, we used the 2s anti-bonding site. Which statement about this site is not true? A) This anti-bonding electron site has the second lowest energy level of all the sites in the 2s and 2p orbitals. B) Although this site is not desirable for making a bond between atoms, it is a good site in the sense that the electrons can be close to the nucleus. C) This site can accommodate a maximum of two electrons (i.e., one electron pair). D) The energy level for this site is very similar to the energy level for the ? 2s orbital site.

Explanation / Answer

B) Although this site is not desirable for making a bond between atoms, it is a good site in the sense that the electrons can be close to the nucleus.
