Consider the following list of small molecules and ions: C2 O2–, CN–, O2. CO, NO, NO+, C22, OF–. Identify
(a) all species that have a bond order of 3
(b) all species that are paramagnetic
(c) species that have a fractional bond order
(a)

Interpretation:
All the species which have a bond order of 3 should be identified from the given list of molecules.
Concept Introduction:
Molecular orbital (MO) theory: is a method for determining molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.
Bond order: It is the measure of number of electron pairs shared between two atoms.
Answer to Problem 26PS
The species which have a bond order of 3 are,
Explanation of Solution
The list of given molecules and their electronic configuration in MO term and bond order are given below,
According to the above table it is clear that there are four molecules have a bond order of 3. And they are mentioned below,
(b)

Interpretation:
All the species which are paramagnetic should be identified from the given list of molecules.

Bond order: It is the measure of number of electron pairs shared between two atoms.
Atoms with unpaired electrons are called Paramagnetic. Paramagnetic atoms are attracted to a magnet.
Atoms with paired electrons are called diamagnetic. Diamagnetic atoms are repelled by a magnet
Answer to Problem 26PS
The species which have paramagnetic nature are,
Explanation of Solution
The list of given molecules and their electronic configuration in MO term and bond order are given below,
Molecules with fractional bond order value will show paramagnetic character. The fractional values are the result of odd number of electrons and odd number of electrons shows the presence of un-paired electrons.
According to the above table it is clear that there are two molecules have fractional bond order; they will exhibit paramagnetic character.
The species which have paramagnetic nature are,
(c)

Interpretation:
All the species which have fractional bond order should be identified from the given list of molecules.
