N2andO2are converted to monopositive cationsN2+andO2+respectively. Which set is having correct statements?
1.InO2+, paramagnetism decreases
2.N2+becomes diamagnetic
3.InO2+, the bond order increases
4.InN2+theN-Nbond is weakened.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

M.O. configuration ofN2is
σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2σ*2s2π2px2π2py2σ2pz1
B.O. ofN2=10-42=3
M.O. configuration ofN2+is
σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2σ*2s2π2px2π2py2σ2pz1
B.O. ofN2+=9-42=2.5
Hence,N2+becomes paramagnetic so statement 2 is incorrect
M.O. of configuration ofO2is
σ1s2σ*1s22σ2s2σ*2s2σ2pz2π2px2π2py2π*2px1π*2py1
So B.O. ofO2=1062=2
M.O. configuration ofO2+is
σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2σ*2s2σ2pz2π2px2π2py2π*2px1
B.O. ofO2+=10-52=2.5
B.O.Bondenergy 1 Bondlength
