The bond stability of \(\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{N}_2^{2-}\) varies as

  1. A \(\mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2^{-} < \mathrm{N}_2^{2-}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_2^{-} < \mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2^{2-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2^{2-} < \mathrm{N}_2^{-} < \mathrm{N}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}_2^{-} < \mathrm{N}_2^{2-} < \mathrm{N}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}_2^{2-} < \mathrm{N}_2^{-} < \mathrm{N}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Stability of a molecule is related with bond order as: Stability \(\propto\) Bond order Bond order of \(\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{~N}_2^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{N}_2^{-2}\) are 3, 2.5 and 2 respectively. Therefore, the bond stability order is…
