Analyzing +4 | -1
Consider the following statement
I. When O2\mathrm{O}_2 is converted into O22+\mathrm{O}_2^{2+} bond order decreases.
II. O2\mathrm{O}_2 molecule is paramagnetic because it contains two unpaired electrons in π∗2px\mathop \pi \limits^ * 2{p_x} and π∗2py\mathop \pi \limits^ * 2{p_y} molecular orbitals.
III. The bond length in NO\mathrm{NO} is greater than in NO+{\text{N}}\mathop {\text{O}}\limits^ +.
Choose the correct statements.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
II and III
Option C (II and III) is correct. Statement II is true because O2 has two unpaired electrons, and statement III is true because NO+ has a higher bond order and thus a shorter bond length than NO.
