Bond Order and Enthalpy

In going from...

Question

In going from $O_{2}$ to $O_{2}^{+}$ , the bond dissociation energy increases and bond length decreases. Do we expect the same behavior for the change $N_{2}$ and $N_{2}^{+}$ ?

Solution

It can be explained on the concept of bond order.
In $O_{2}$ bond order is $2$ .
In $O_{2}^{+}$ , bond order $= \frac{(N o . o f e l e c t r o n s i n b o n d i n g o r b i t a l) - (N o . o f e l e c t r o n s i n a n t i - b o n d i n g)}{2}$
In $O_{2}^{+}$ , bond order $= \frac{10 - 5}{5} = 2.5$ .
$O_{2}^{+}$ has more bond order than $O_{2}$ . If bond order increases, bond dissosiation energy increases and bond length decreases.
In $N_{2}$ bond order is $3$ .
In $N_{2}^{+}$ , bond order is $\frac{9 - 4}{2} = 2.5$ .
Bond order decreases from $^{'} 3^{'}$ to $2.5$ . $N_{2}^{+}$ has different behavior and not same with $O_{2}^{+}$ . From $N_{2}$ to $N_{2}^{+}$ , bond dissosiation energy decreases and bond length increases.
