Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 77
Question: $ N_2 $ and $ O_2 $ are converted into monocations $ N_2^{+} $ and $ O_2^{+} $ respectively. Which is wrong [CBSE PMT 1997]
Options:
A) In $ N_2, $ the $ N-N $ bond weakens
B) In $ O_2, $ the $ O-O $ bond order increases
C) In $ O_2, $ paramagnetism decreases
D) $ N_2^{+} $ becomes diamagnetic
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ N_2^{+} $ has one unpaired electron so it would be paramagnetic.
