The molecule/ion having paramagnetic nature and a bond order of 1.0 is

The molecule/ion having paramagnetic nature and a bond order of 1.0 is
  1. \(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}\)
  2. \(\mathrm{Li}_2^{+}\)
  3. \(\mathrm{B}_2\)
  4. \(\mathrm{C}_2\)

Solution

\(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}=\sigma s^2 < \sigma^* \mathrm{l} s^1\) \(\mathrm{BO}=\frac{2-1}{2}=0.5\) \(\mathrm{He}_2^{+}\)ion having one unpaired electron. So, it is paramagnetic. \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Li}_2^{+}=\sigma s^2 < \sigma^{\star} 1 s^2 < \sigma 2 s^1 \\ & \mathrm{BO}=\frac{3-2}{2}=0.5 \quad \text{(Paramagnetic)}\\ & \mathrm{~B}_2=\sigma s^2 < \sigma^* 1 s^2 < \sigma 2 s^2 < \sigma^* 2 s^2 < \pi 2 p_x^1=\pi 2 p_y^1 \\ & \mathrm{BO}=\frac{6-4}{2}=1 \quad \text{(Paramagnetic)} \\ & \mathrm{C}_2 ightarrow \sigma 1 s^2 < { }^* \sigma 1 s^2 < \sigma 2 s^2 < { }^* \sigma 2 s^2 < \pi 2 p_x^2=\pi 2 p_y^2 \\ & \mathrm{BO}=\frac{8-4}{2}=2 \quad \text{(Diamagnetic)} \\ \end{aligned}\) .
