The molecule/ion having paramagnetic nature and a bond order of 1.0 is

  1. A \(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Li}_2^{+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{B}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{B}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}=\sigma s^2 < \sigma^* \mathrm{l} s^1\) \(\mathrm{BO}=\frac{2-1}{2}=0.5\) \(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}\)ion having one unpaired electron. So, it is paramagnetic.…
