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
