When N2+ is form N2 bond-order ......... and when O2+ is formed from O2 bond-order:
Correct answer: D. Decrease increase
- A. Increases increases
- B. Decreases decreases
- C. Increases decreases
- D. Decrease increase
Explanation
Molecular orbital configuration of N2 is 1s2 2s2 2p3 Molecular orbital configuration of O2 is 1s2 2s2 2p4. When n2+ is formed from n2 electron is removed from sigma- bonding and hence boiling point decreases while o2+ is formed from o2, electron is removed from pie bonding and boiling point increases.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
