Question

According to MO theory which of thhe following lists makes the nitrogen species in terms of increasing bond order?
A. `N_(2)^(-) lt N_(2) lt N_2^(2-)`
B. `N_(2)^(2-) lt N_2^(-) lt N_(2)`
C. `N_(2) lt N_2^(2-) lt N_(2)^(-)`
D. `N_(2)^(-) lt N_(2)^(2-)lt N_(2)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Bond order `N_(2)=3`
`N_(2)^(-)=2.5, N_(2)^(2-)=2.0`
