The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given molecules are diamagnetic and have a bond order greater than 2, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of electrons for each molecule We will calculate the total number of electrons for each molecule based on their atomic numbers. 1. **O₂²⁺**: Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8. For O₂, total electrons = 2 × 8 = 16. For O₂²⁺, we subtract 2 electrons: 16 - 2 = 14. 2. **CO**: Carbon (C) has an atomic number of 6, and Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8. Total electrons = 6 + 8 = 14. 3. **CN⁻**: Carbon (C) = 6, Nitrogen (N) = 7. Total = 6 + 7 + 1 (for the negative charge) = 14. 4. **NO**: Nitric oxide has 7 (N) + 8 (O) = 15 electrons. 5. **NO⁺**: Total = 7 + 8 - 1 (for the positive charge) = 14. 6. **N₂**: Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. Total = 2 × 7 = 14. 7. **O₂⁺**: Total = 16 - 1 (for the positive charge) = 15. 8. **N₂²⁻**: Total = 14 + 2 (for the negative charge) = 16. 9. **O₂²⁻**: Total = 16 + 2 = 18. ### Step 2: Determine the bond order for each molecule Using the bond order calculation method mentioned in the transcript: - **O₂²⁺**: 14 electrons → Bond order = 3. - **CO**: 14 electrons → Bond order = 3. - **CN⁻**: 14 electrons → Bond order = 2.5. - **NO**: 15 electrons → Bond order = 2.5. - **NO⁺**: 14 electrons → Bond order = 3. - **N₂**: 14 electrons → Bond order = 3. - **O₂⁺**: 15 electrons → Bond order = 2.5. - **N₂²⁻**: 16 electrons → Bond order = 2. - **O₂²⁻**: 18 electrons → Bond order = 1. ### Step 3: Determine if the molecules are diamagnetic or paramagnetic A molecule is diamagnetic if it has all paired electrons (even total number of electrons) and paramagnetic if it has unpaired electrons (odd total number of electrons). 1. **O₂²⁺**: 14 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 2. **CO**: 14 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 3. **CN⁻**: 14 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 4. **NO**: 15 electrons (odd) → Paramagnetic. 5. **NO⁺**: 14 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 6. **N₂**: 14 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 7. **O₂⁺**: 15 electrons (odd) → Paramagnetic. 8. **N₂²⁻**: 16 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. 9. **O₂²⁻**: 18 electrons (even) → Diamagnetic. ### Step 4: Compile the results Now we will summarize which of these molecules are diamagnetic and have a bond order greater than 2: - **O₂²⁺**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 3. - **CO**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 3. - **CN⁻**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 2.5 (not greater than 2). - **NO**: Paramagnetic. - **NO⁺**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 3. - **N₂**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 3. - **O₂⁺**: Paramagnetic. - **N₂²⁻**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 2 (not greater than 2). - **O₂²⁻**: Diamagnetic, Bond order = 1 (not greater than 2). ### Conclusion The molecules that are diamagnetic and have a bond order greater than 2 are: 1. O₂²⁺ 2. CO 3. NO⁺ 4. N₂ Thus, the total number of molecules that are diamagnetic and have a bond order greater than 2 is **4**. ---
