    In which of the following pairs, the two species have identical bond order?

    A) \[N_{2}^{-},\,\,O_{2}^{2-}\]                       

    B)        \[N_{2}^{+},\,\,O_{2}^{-}\]

    C)        \[N_{2}^{-},\,\,O_{2}^{+}\]                        

    D)        \[O_{2}^{+},\,\,N_{2}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Total no of electron in\[N_{2}^{-}\] \[=7+7+1=15\] Total no. of electron in\[N_{2}^{2-}\] \[=7+7+2=16\] Total no. of electron in\[N_{2}^{+}\] \[=7+7-1=13\] Total no. of electron in\[O_{2}^{-}\] \[=8+8+1=17\] Total no. of electron in\[O_{2}^{2-}\] \[=8+8+2=18\] Total no. of electron in\[O_{2}^{+}\] \[=8+8-1=15\] As \[N_{2}^{-}\] and \[O_{2}^{+}\] contains the same total no. of electrons, their MO electronic configuration will be same. Thus, \[N_{2}^{-}\] and \[O_{2}^{+}\] have the same bond order.
