There are two formula in MOT. They are based on 2s-2p mixing. Atomic number less then 15 has one formula and other formula for atomic number greater than 15. In less then 15 atomic number 2s-2p is operative and in atomic number greater than 15 2s-2p is not operative. So use second formula u will get c2 as a answer
