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

Which amongst the following is incorrect statement?

  1. A \(C _{2}\) molecule has four electrons in its two degenerate \(\pi\) molecular orbitals.
  2. B \(H _{2}^{+}\)ion has one electron.
  3. C \(O _{2}^{+}\)ion is diamagnetic.
  4. D The bond orders of \(O _{2}^{+}, O _{2}, O _{2}^{-}\)and \(O _{2}^{2-}\) are \(2.5, 2, 1.5\) and \(1,\) respectively.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(O _{2}^{+}\)ion is diamagnetic.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(O _{2}^{+}\)ion is having \(15\) electrons, so it contain one unpaired electron. Hence it is paramagnetic in nature.
