STANDARD Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question
Bond order of N₂⁺, N₂⁻ and N₂ will be
2.5, 2.5 and 3 respectively
2, 2.5 and 3 respectively
3, 2.5 and 3 respectively
2.5, 2.5 and 2.5 respectively
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bond order is calculated using the formula (Nb - Na)/2, where Nb is the number of bonding electrons and Na is the number of antibonding electrons. For N₂⁺, N₂⁻, and N₂, the bond orders are 2.5, 2.5, and 3 respectively.
