Question

N2 amd O2 converted into momoanions, N2- and O2- respectively. Which of the following statement is wrong?

Options

A.In N2-, N - N bond weakens
B.In O2-,O - O bond order insreases
C.In O2-,O - O bond order decreases
D.N2-, becomes paramagnetic

Solution

Species        N2     O2     N2-     O2-
Bond order     3     2     2.5     1.5
