    In which of the following ionization processes, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behavior has changed?

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}\to {{C}^{+}}_{2}\]       

    B) \[NO\to N{{O}^{+}}\]

    C) \[{{O}_{2}}\to {{O}^{+}}_{2}\]       

    D) \[{{N}_{2}}\to {{N}^{+}}_{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] (1) \[{{C}_{2}}:\]Bond order 2 diamagnetic.
    \[{{C}^{+}}_{2}:\]Bond order 1.5 paramagnetic.
    (2) \[NO:\]Bond order 2.5 paramagnetic.
    \[N{{O}^{+}}:\]Bond order 3 diamagnetic.
    (3) \[{{O}_{2}}:\]Bond order 2 paramagnetic.
    \[{{O}^{+}}_{2}:\]Bond order 2.5 paramagnetic.
    (4) \[{{N}_{2}}:\]Bond order 3 paramagnetic.
    \[{{N}^{-}}_{2}:\]Bond order 2.5 diamagnetic.
    Thus, in \[NO\to N{{O}^{+}}\], electron is removed form antibonding molecular orbital, hence bond order increases and nature changes form paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
