The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is incorrect, we will analyze each option provided in the question regarding the magnetic properties and bond lengths of the given molecules. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Analyzing O2:** - O2 (dioxygen) has a molecular orbital configuration that results in two unpaired electrons in its anti-bonding π* orbitals. - Since it has unpaired electrons, O2 is **paramagnetic**. 2. **Analyzing O3:** - O3 (ozone) has a different molecular structure and bonding. It has no unpaired electrons in its molecular orbital configuration. - Therefore, O3 is **diamagnetic**. 3. **Analyzing B2:** - B2 (diboron) has a molecular orbital configuration that results in two unpaired electrons. - Thus, B2 is also **paramagnetic**. 4. **Analyzing C2:** - C2 (dicarbon) has a molecular orbital configuration that results in all electrons being paired. - Therefore, C2 is **diamagnetic**. 5. **Analyzing NO and CO:** - When considering the ions NO+ and CO+, both species have a decrease in bond length compared to their neutral counterparts (NO and CO). - This is because the removal of an electron typically leads to stronger bonding interactions, thus decreasing bond length. 6. **Identifying Incorrect Statements:** - From the analysis: - Statement about O2 being paramagnetic is correct. - Statement about O3 being paramagnetic is **incorrect** (it is diamagnetic). - Statement about B2 being paramagnetic is correct. - Statement about C2 being diamagnetic is correct. - Statement about bond lengths in NO and CO is correct. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is regarding O3 being paramagnetic. Therefore, the answer is **A** (O3 is paramagnetic).
