    Which of the following is paramagnetic with bond order 0.5?

    A)  \[{{F}_{2}}\]              

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{N}_{2}}\]             

    D)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[H_{2}^{+}=\sigma 1{{s}^{1}}\]According to molecular orbital theory) Bond order \[=\frac{bonding\text{ }electrons-antibonding\text{ }electrons}{2}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\] \[H_{2}^{+}\]is paramagnetic due to the presence of one unpaired electron.
