Question
Show that N2 molecule has a greater bond dissociation energy than N-2 where O2 has lower bond dissociation energy than O+2.
Solution
The bond dissociation energy is directly proportional to bond order such that,
greater the bond order, greater is the bond dissociation energy.
∴ N2 has greater bond dissociation energy than N-2. O2 has a lower bond dissociation energy than O+2.
