Q:
What is the bond order of N2+?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 2.5
Explanation: Bond Order = 1/2[ Nb - Na]
where
Nb = Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals.
Na = Number of Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals
Bond Order of N2⁺:
Total number of electrons: 13
Electronic Configuration= :σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π 2py² [π2pz² σ2px1 ]
Bond Order = [9-4]/2 = 5/2 = 2.5.
