The correct stability order for `N_2` and its given ions is :

Options

A. `N_(2) gt N_(2)^(+) = N_(2)^(-) gt N_(2)^(2-)`
B. `N_(2)^(+) gt N_(2)^(-) gt N_(2) gt N_(2)^(2-)`
C. `N_(2)^(-)gt N_(2)^(+) gt N_(2) gt N_(2)^(2-)`
D. `N_(2)^(2-) gt N_(2)^(-) = N_(2)^(+) gt N_(2)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Bond order of `N_(2) = 3, N_(2)^(+) = 2.5, N_(2)^(-) = 2.5 and N_(2)^(2-)` is 2. Higher the bond order , more is the stability.
