Question

Find the pair that has the same bond order with diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties respectively.
A. `F_(2) and O_(2)`
B. `N_(2) and O_(2)^(2-)`
C. `Li_(2) and B_(2)`
D. `B_(2) and O_(2)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`{:("Specoes","Bond order","Magnetic Behaviour"),(F_(2),1,"Diamagnetic"),(O_(2),2,"Paramagnetic"),(N_(2),3,"Diamagnetic"),(O_(2)^(2-),1,"Diamagnetic"),(Li_(2),1,"Diamagnetic"),(B_(2),1,"Paramagnetic"):}`
`Li_(2)(B.O.1)` is diamagnetic while `B_(2)(B.O=1)` is paramagnetic in nature.
