`N_(2) and O_(2)` are converted into monocations, `N_(2)^(+)` and `O_(2)^(+)` respectively. Which of the following is wrong?

Options

A. In `N_(2)^(+), N -N` bond order weakens
B. In `O_(2)^(+), the O -O` bond order increases
C. In `O_(2)^(+)` paramagnetism decreases
D. `N_(2)^(+)`becomes diagnetic

Answer

d

Explanation

`B.O = "in" N_(2) = (10-4)//2 = 3`
`B.O = "in" N_(2)^(+) = (9-4)//2 = 2.5`
`B.O = "in" O_(2) = (10-6)//2 = 2`
`B.O = "in" O_(2)^(+) = (10-5)//2 = 2.5`
`N_(2)^(+)` contains one unpaired electron and hence it is paramagnetic. Thus option (d) id wrong
