Which amongst the following is incorrect statement?

Which amongst the following is incorrect statement?

Options

  1. AC2{C}_{2} molecule has four electrons in its two degenerate π\pi molecular orbitals.
  2. BH2+{H}_{2}^{+} ion has one electron.
  3. CO2+{O}_{2}^{+} ion is diamagnetic.
  4. DThe bond orders of O2+,O2,O2−{O}_{2}^{+}, {O}_{2}, {O}_{2}^{-} and O22−{O}_{2}^{2 -} are 2.5,2,1.52 . 5, 2, 1 . 5 and 11, respectively.

Correct answer

C. O2+{O}_{2}^{+} ion is diamagnetic.

Step-by-step solution

1. Electronic configuration of C2{C}_{2} molecule is \left(\sigma1{s}^{2}\right)\left({\sigma}^{*}1{s}^{2}\right)\left(\sigma2{S}^{2}\right)\left({\sigma}^{*}2{S}^{2}\right)\left(\pi2{P}_{x}^{2} = \pi2{py}^{2}\right)</p><p>Henceithas</p><p>Hence it has4electronsinelectrons in\pimolecularorbitals.</p><p>2.molecular orbitals.</p><p>2.{{H}_{2}}^{+}hasoneelectronasoneelectronisremovedfromhas one electron as one electron is removed from{H}_{2}molecule.</p><p>3.Electronicconfigurationofmolecule.</p><p>3.
