In going from `O_(2)` to `O_(2)^(+)`, the bond dissociation energy increases and bond length decreases. Do we expect the same behaviour for the change `N_(2)` to `N_(2)^(+)`?

Explanation

To determine whether the behavior observed in the transition from \( O_2 \) to \( O_2^+ \) (where bond dissociation energy increases and bond length decreases) is the same for the transition from \( N_2 \) to \( N_2^+ \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand Bond Order
Bond order is a measure of the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms. It can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Bond Order} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{Number of electrons in bonding orbitals} - \text{Number of electrons in anti-bonding orbitals} \right) \]
