In which of the following ionization processes, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behaviour has changed?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. : Total electrons = . Configuration: .Bond Order = . It is paramagnetic due to 1 unpaired electron.2. : Total electrons = . Configuration: same as ().Bond Order = . It is diamagnetic (all electrons paired).In the process , an electron is removed from an anti-bonding molecular orbital (), which increases the bond order and changes magnetic behavior from paramagnetic to diamagnetic.
