Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 117

####120. The relationship between the dissociation energy of N2 and N2+is :

(a) Dissociation energy of N2+>dissociation energy of N2

(b) Dissociation energy of N2= dissociation energy of N2+

(c) Dissociation energy of N2> dissociation energy of N2+

(d) Dissociation energy of N2 can either be lower or higher than the dissociation energy of N2+

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Dissociation energy of any molecules depends upon bond order. Bond order in N2 molecule is 3 while bond order in N2+is 2.5 .

Further we know that more the Bond order, more is the stability and more is the BDE.

 (b) NO+=σ1s2σ1s2σ2s2σ2s2σ2px2π2py2=π2pz2 Bond order of NO+=12(NbNa)=12(104)=12×6=3

Similarly, Bond order of NO=12(105)

=12(5)=2.5

Bond order of NO=12(106)=12(4)=2

Bond order of O2=12(107)=12(3)=1.5

By above calculation, we get

Decreasing bond order

NO+>NO>NO>O2
