STANDARD Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Bond order of N₂⁺, N₂⁻ and N₂ will be

A

2.5, 2.5 and 3 respectively

B

2, 2.5 and 3 respectively

C

3, 2.5 and 3 respectively

D

2.5, 2.5 and 2.5 respectively

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
