In which of the following processes , the bond order has increased and paramagnetic charecter has changed to diamagnetic ?
Bond Order -
Bond order is defined as one half the difference between the number of electrons present in the bonding and the antibonding orbitals.
- wherein
Magnetic behaviour of molecule -
If all the molecular orbitals in a molecule are doubly occupied, the substance is diamagnetic
- wherein
However if one or more molecular orbital are singly occupied it is paramagnetic e.g. O2
