The bonding in the species HeH can be sutuded in a way similar to that of the $\mathrm{H}_2$. The correct statement(s) is(are):

  • Correct answer
    A
    The dipole moment of HeH is larger than that of $\mathrm{H}_2^{+}$.
  • B
    Among $\mathrm{HeH}, \mathrm{HeH}^{+}$, and $\mathrm{HeH}^{2+}$, the species that is most stable is $\mathrm{HeH}^{2+}$.
  • Correct answer
    C
    Among $\mathrm{HeH}, \mathrm{HeH}^{-}$, and $\mathrm{HeH}^{+}$, the system with the smallest bond length is $\mathrm{HeH}^{+}$.
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\mathrm{HeH}^{+}$has symmetrical distribution of electrons about the bond axis.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'C', 'D'.
