Bonding in which of the following diatomic molecule(s) become(s) stronger, on the basis of MO Theory, by removal of an electron? (A) NO (B) N 2 (C) O 2 (D) C 2 (E) B 2 Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AA , B , C only
- BB , C , E only
- CA , C only
- DD only
Correct answer
C. A , C only
Step-by-step solution
In all these molecules O 2 ​   and   NO , is stabilized by removal of electrons because it is having electrons in the anti-bonding orbital. And thus removal of electron from the anti bonding orbital, increases the bond order of O 2   and   NO . And thus is becomes more stable after removal of electrons. Bond order of O 2 + ​ is 2 . 5 and it is more than that of O 2 which is having bond order as 2 . Similarly Bond order of NO   is   2 . 5   and   that   of
