Solution

The correct options are
A $C_{2}^{2 -}$ is expected to be diamagnetic
C $N_{2}^{+}$ and $N_{2}^{-}$ have the same bond order
(A) $C_{2}^{2 -}$ bond order
Bond order $= \frac{T o t a l n o . o f b o n d i n g e l e c t r o n s - T o t a l n o . o f a n t i b o n d i n g}{2}$
Total no. of electrons in $C_{2}^{2 -}$ is $14$
$σ {1 S}^{2} σ^{} {1 S}^{2} σ {2 S}^{2} σ^{} {2 S}^{2} Π {2 P}_{y}^{2} Π 2 P_{2}^{2} σ {2 P}_{x}^{2}$
Bond order $= \frac{10 - 4}{2} = 3$
If bond order is in integers then moleculelion is diamagnetic.
(B) $B o n d o r d e r α \frac{1}{B o n d l e n g t h}$
$O_{2}^{2 +}$ bond order is $3$
$O_{2}$ bond order is $2$
(C) $N_{2}^{+}$ and $N_{2}^{-}$ have the same bond order.
