MCQ
In which of the following ionization processes the bond energy increases and the magnetic behaviour changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
  • A
    $O_2 \rightarrow O_2^+$
  • B
    $C_2 \rightarrow C_2^+$
  • $NO \rightarrow NO^+$
  • D
    $N_2 \rightarrow N_2^+$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$NO \rightarrow NO^+$
c
In $C_{2}-C_{2}^{+}$ electrons is removed from bonding molecular orbital so bond order decreases.

In $N O \rightarrow N O^{+}$ electrons is removed from anti bonding molecular orbital so bond order increases and nature changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
