Chapter 10, Problem 10.10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular orbital energy diagram and bond order of ${\text{N}}_2{}^{+}$ , the strength of the bond in ${\text{N}}_2{}^{+}$ compared to that in ${\text{N}}_2$ and the magnetic property of ${\text{N}}_2{}^{+}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The number of bonds between the pair of atoms is called bond order.

The molecule that has unpaired electrons in its molecular orbital is paramagnetic in nature.
The molecule that has all paired electrons in its molecular orbital is diamagnetic in nature.
