N2 and O2 are converted into monocations, N2+ and O2+ respectively. Which of the following statements is wrong? (a) In N2+, N - N bond weakens (b) In O2+, the O - O bond order increases (c) In O2+, paramagnetism decreases (d) N2+ becomes diamagnetic

Correct answer: (d) N2+ becomes diamagnetic Explanation: σ2b σa*2 σ2b σa*2 (πb2 = πb2) σb1 (N2+ = 13 electrons) it contains one unpaired electron hence paramagnetic.

Correct answer: (d) N₂⁺ becomes diamagnetic

Explanation:

σ²_b σ_a^*2 σ²_b σ_a^*2 (π_b² = π_b²) σb1 (N₂⁺ = 13 electrons)

it contains one unpaired electron hence paramagnetic.
