Pair of species among the following having same bond order as well as paramagnetic character will be:
Show Hint
- O$_2^-$, N$_2^-$
- O$_2^+$, N$_2^{2-}$
- O$_2^-$, N$_2^+$
- O$_2^+$, N$_2^-$
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Bond order of O$_2^+$ = 2.5 and bond order of N$_2^-$ = 2.5.
Step 2: Magnetic nature.
Both species contain one unpaired electron, hence both are paramagnetic.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, O$_2^+$ and N$_2^-$ have same bond order and are paramagnetic.
