JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

The correct order of bond dissociation energy among \(N_2, O_2, O_2^-\) is shown in which of the following arrangements?

  1. A \(N_2 > O_2^- > O_2\)
  2. B \(O_2^- > O_2 > N_2\)
  3. C \(N_2 > O_2 > O_2^-\)
  4. D \(O_2 > O_2^- > N_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(N_2 > O_2 > O_2^-\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The bond order of \(N_2,\) \(O_2,\) and \(O_2^-\) are respectively \(3,2\) and \(1.5\) Since higher bond order implies higher bond dissociation energy hence the correct orde will be \(N_2 > O_2 > O_2^-\)
