N ₂ and O ₂ are converted into mono anions, N ₂⁻ and O ₂⁻ respectively. Which of the following statements is wrong ?
Options
- AIn N ₂ , the N - N bond weakens
- BIn O ₂ , the O - O bond order increases
- CIn O ₂, bond length decreases
- DN ₂⁻ becomes diamagnetic
Correct answer
B. In O ₂ , the O - O bond order increases
Step-by-step solution
We know that in O ₂ bond, the order is 2 and in O ₂⁻ bond, the order is 1.5 . Therefore the wrong statements is (b).
