In which of the following ionization processes, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behaviour has changed?

  • C2 → C2+

  • NO → NO+

  • O2 → O2+

  • N2 → N2+

Solution

B.

NO → NO+

D.

N2 → N2+

C2 → C2electron is removed from bonding molecular orbital so bond order decreases. In NO → NO+, electron is removed from antibonding molecular orbital so bond order increases and nature changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
