4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
hard

In which of the following ionization processes the bond energy increases and the magnetic behaviour changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.

A

$O_2 \rightarrow O_2^+$

B

$C_2 \rightarrow C_2^+$

C

$NO \rightarrow NO^+$

D

$N_2 \rightarrow N_2^+$

(NEET-2013)

Solution

In $C_{2}-C_{2}^{+}$ electrons is removed from bonding molecular orbital so bond order decreases.

In $N O \rightarrow N O^{+}$ electrons is removed from anti bonding molecular orbital so bond order increases and nature changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
