N 2 and O 2 are converted to monocations N 2 + and O 2 + respectively, which is wrong statement-
Options
- AIn N 2 + , the N - N bond weakens
- BIn O 2 + , the O - O bond order increases
- CIn O 2 + , the paramagnetism decreases
- DN 2 + becomes diamagnetic
Correct answer
D. N 2 + becomes diamagnetic
Step-by-step solution
O 2 has bond order = 2 while O 2 + has bond order 2.5 . According to MOT, N 2 ⊕ , paramagnetic and O 2 + is also paramagnetic
