The changes in bond length with respect to N - N and O - O , when N ₂ becomes N ₂⁺ and O ₂ becomes O ₂⁺ are respectively

Step-by-step solution

aligned N ₂(14) 1 s^2 < * 1 s^2 < 2 s^2 < * 2 s^2 & < 2 p_x^2 & 2 p_y^2 < 2 p_z^2 aligned Bond order = 10-4 2 =3 aligned N ₂⁺(13) l s^2 < * l s^2 < 2 s^2 < * _ 2 s^2 < & 2 p_x^2 & 2 p_y^2 < 2 p_z^1 aligned Bond order = 9-4 2 =2.5 aligned & O ₂(16) 1 s^2 < * 1 s^2 < 2 s^2 < * 2 s^2 < 2 p_z^2 < 2 p_x^2 & 2 p_y^2 < 2 p_x^1 2 p_y^1 & Bond order = 10-6 2 =2 & O ₂⁺(15) l s^2 < * l s^2 < 2 s^2 < * 2 s^2 < 2 p_z^2 < 2 p_x^2 & = 2 p_y^2 < * 2 p_x^1= * 2 p_y^0 & Bond order = 10-5 2 =2.5 & aligned Bond order 1 Bond length In
