The correct order of bond dissociation energy among $\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}$is shown in which of the following arrangements?
  1. $\mathrm{N}_2>\mathrm{O}_2^{-}>\mathrm{O}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{O}_2^{-}>\mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{N}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{N}_2>\mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{O}_2^{-}$
  4. $\mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{O}_2^{-}>\mathrm{N}_2$

Solution

The bond order of $\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{O}_2$, and $\mathrm{O}_2^{-}$are respectively 3,2 and $1.5$ Since higher bond order implies higher bond dissociation energy hence the correct order will be $ \mathrm{N}_2>\mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{O}_2^{-} $
