Four Diatomic Species Are Listed Below Identilfy The Correct Order Chemistry Question

Four diatomic species are listed below. Identilfy the correct order in which the bond order is increasing in them:

Options

(a) NO < O₂⁻ < C₂²⁻ < He₂⁺
(b) O₂⁻ < NO < C₂²⁻ < He₂⁺
(c) C₂²⁻ < He₂⁺ < O₂⁻ < NO
(d) He₂⁺ < O₂⁻ < NO < C₂²⁻

Correct Answer:

He₂⁺ < O₂⁻ < NO < C₂²⁻

Explanation:

Bond order = Nₙ – Nₘ / 2
He₂⁺ = σ(1s)² σ*(1s) B.O. = 0.5
O₂⁻ = KKσ(2s)² σ*(2s)² σ(2pₖ)²
π(2pᵢ)² π(2pⱼ)² π*(2pᵢ)² π*(2pⱼ)¹ B.O. = 1.5
NO = KKσ(2s)² σ*(2s)²π(2pᵢ)²
π(2pⱼ)² σ(2pₖ)² π*(2pᵢ)¹ B.O. = 2.5
C₂²⁻ = KKσ(2s)² σ*(2s)²π(2pᵢ)² π(2pⱼ)² σ(2pₖ)² B.O. = 3.0
