Find the pair that has the same bond order with diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties respectively.

Options

A. `F_(2)and O_(2)`
B. `N_(2) and O_(2)^(2-)`
C. `Li_(2) and B_(2)`
D. `B_(2) and O_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`{:("Species","Bond order","Magnetic character"),(F_(2),1,"Diamagnetic"),(O_(2),2,"Paramagnetic"),(N_(2),3,"Diamagnetic"),(O_(2)^(2-),1,"Diamagnetic"),(Li_(2),1,"Diamagnetic"),(B_(2),1,"Paramagnetic"):}`
He and Ne are monoatomic and diamagnetic.
`So, Li_(2) and B_(2)` have same bond order, and diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties.
