(1996, 1M)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 52. increases, decreases
Solution:
- Bond order in $N _2$ is $3$ while same in $N _2^{+}$ is $2.5$ , hence bond distance increases as $N _2$ goes to $N _2^{+}$.
Bond order in $O _2$ is 2 while same in $O _2^{+}$ is $2.5$ , hence bond distance decreases as $O _2$ goes to $O _2^{+}$.
