Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True; statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1.

During the ionisation NONO+, the bond order
increases from 2.5 to 3 and the magnetic character changes from
paramagnetic to diamagnetic.

For NO,

1s21s22s22s22pz22px22py22px12py0

Bond Order = 612 = 2.5

For NO+,

1s21s22s22s22pz22px22py2

Bond Order = 1042 = 3
