The correct order of bond orders of C _ 2 ^ 2 - , N _ 2 ^ 2 - and O...

The correct order of bond orders of C22−,N22−{C}_{2}^{2 -}, {N}_{2}^{2 -} and O22−{O}_{2}^{2 -} is

Options

  1. AC22−>N22−>O22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} > {N}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -}
  2. BO22−>N22−>O22−{O}_{2}^{2 -} > {N}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -}
  3. CN22−>O22−>C22−{N}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -} > {C}_{2}^{2 -}
  4. DC22−>O22−>N22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -} > {N}_{2}^{2 -}

Correct answer

A. C22−>N22−>O22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} > {N}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -}

Step-by-step solution

Bond order =Nb−Na2= \dfrac{{N}_{b} - {N}_{a}}{2}

NB={N}_{B} = Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals.

NA⋅B={N}_{A \cdot B} = Number of electrons in anti bonding molecular orbitals.

C22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} has 1414 electrons, it is isoelectronic with N2{N}_{2} where Bond order =3= 3,

N22−{N}_{2}^{2 -} has 1616 electrons is isoelectronic with O2{O}_{2} whose bond order =2= 2

O22−{O}_{2}^{2 -} has 1818 electrons and is isoelectronic with F2{F}_{2} whose bond order =1= 1

So, the correct order of Bond order is

C22−>N22−>O22−{C}_{2}^{2 -} > {N}_{2}^{2 -} > {O}_{2}^{2 -}.
