Question
In which of the following ionization processes, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behaviour has changed?
Options
A.C2 → C2+
B.NO → NO+
C.O2 → O2+
D.N2 → N2+
Solution
In C2 - C2+ electron is removed from bonding molecular orbital so bond order decreases. In NO → NO+ electron is removed from anti bonding molecular orbital so bond order increases and nature changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
Hence, (2) is correct.
Hence, (2) is correct.
