The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong regarding the conversion of \(N_2\) and \(O_2\) to their respective monocations \(N_2^+\) and \(O_2^+\), we will analyze the bond order, bond strength, and magnetic properties of these species. ### Step 1: Calculate the bond order of \(N_2\) 1. **Determine the total number of electrons in \(N_2\)**: - Each nitrogen atom has an atomic number of 7, contributing a total of 14 electrons for \(N_2\) (7 from each nitrogen). 2. **Fill the molecular orbital diagram**: - The electron configuration for \(N_2\) is: - \(\sigma_{1s}^2\), \(\sigma_{1s}^*^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^*^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_y}^2\), \(\sigma_{2p_z}^2\) - Count the bonding and antibonding electrons: - Bonding: \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10\) - Antibonding: \(2 + 2 = 4\) 3. **Calculate bond order**: \[ \text{Bond order} = \frac{\text{Bonding electrons} - \text{Antibonding electrons}}{2} = \frac{10 - 4}{2} = 3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the bond order of \(N_2^+\) 1. **Determine the total number of electrons in \(N_2^+\)**: - \(N_2^+\) has one less electron, so it has 13 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbital diagram**: - The electron configuration for \(N_2^+\) is: - \(\sigma_{1s}^2\), \(\sigma_{1s}^*^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^*^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_y}^2\), \(\sigma_{2p_z}^1\) - Count the bonding and antibonding electrons: - Bonding: \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9\) - Antibonding: \(2 + 2 = 4\) 3. **Calculate bond order**: \[ \text{Bond order} = \frac{9 - 4}{2} = 2.5 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the bond order of \(O_2\) 1. **Determine the total number of electrons in \(O_2\)**: - Each oxygen atom has an atomic number of 8, contributing a total of 16 electrons for \(O_2\). 2. **Fill the molecular orbital diagram**: - The electron configuration for \(O_2\) is: - \(\sigma_{1s}^2\), \(\sigma_{1s}^*^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^*^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_y}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^1\), \(\pi_{2p_y}^1\) - Count the bonding and antibonding electrons: - Bonding: \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10\) - Antibonding: \(2 + 2 = 4\) 3. **Calculate bond order**: \[ \text{Bond order} = \frac{10 - 4}{2} = 2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the bond order of \(O_2^+\) 1. **Determine the total number of electrons in \(O_2^+\)**: - \(O_2^+\) has one less electron, so it has 15 electrons. 2. **Fill the molecular orbital diagram**: - The electron configuration for \(O_2^+\) is: - \(\sigma_{1s}^2\), \(\sigma_{1s}^*^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^2\), \(\sigma_{2s}^*^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_y}^2\), \(\pi_{2p_x}^1\) - Count the bonding and antibonding electrons: - Bonding: \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9\) - Antibonding: \(2 + 2 = 4\) 3. **Calculate bond order**: \[ \text{Bond order} = \frac{9 - 4}{2} = 2.5 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the statements 1. **In \(N_2^+\)**, the \(N-N\) bond weakens: **True** (bond order decreases from 3 to 2.5). 2. **In \(O_2^+\)**, the \(O-O\) bond order increases: **False** (bond order remains the same at 2 for \(O_2\) and increases to 2.5 for \(O_2^+\)). 3. **In \(O_2^+\)**, the paramagnetism decreases: **True** (since \(O_2\) is paramagnetic due to unpaired electrons, and \(O_2^+\) has fewer unpaired electrons). ### Conclusion The wrong statement is: **In \(O_2^+\), the \(O-O\) bond order increases**.
