In which of the following sets, the sum of bond orders of the three species is maximum?
Show Hint
- \( B_2, CN^-, O_2^{2-} \)
- \( O_2, F_2, O_2^+ \)
- \( O_2, N_2, O_2^+ \)
- \( C_2, O_2, He_2^{2+} \)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: Calculating Total Bond Order For option (3): \[ BO_{\text{O}_2} + BO_{\text{N}_2} + BO_{\text{O}_2^+} = 2 + 3 + 2.5 = 7.5 \] This is the highest among all the options.
