Chemistry Question on Bond Parameters
The correct increasing order of bond order values for the concerned species is
A
(O2)−
B
(O2)−
C
(O2)
D
(O2)
Answer
(O2)−
Explanation
Solution
O2−:KKσ2s2σ∗2s2σ2pzπ22py2
π∗2Px2=π∗2py1
Bond order =21(8−5)=23=1.5
O2:KKσ2S2σ∗2s2σ2pz2π2px2
=π2py2π∗2Px1=π∗2py1
Bond order =21(8−4)=2
N2:KKσ2S2σ∗2s2π2px2
=π2py2σ2pz2
Bond order =21(8−2)=3
N2+:KKσ2s2σ∗2s2π2px2
=π2py2σ2pz1
Bond order =21(7−2)
=25=2.5
Hence, the increasing order of bond order values is :
O2−
