Statement 1:
Removal of one electron from $N_{2}$ decreases the bond order of $N_{2}$ , while removal of an electron from $O_{2}$ increases the bond order.
Statement 2:
Removal of an electron from nitrogen atom is difficult as less number of electrons are present in nitrogen than removal of an electron from $O_{2}$ .

Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is False.
Statement 1 is true as removal of one electron from $N_{2}$ decreases the bond order of $N_{2}$ from $3$ to $2.5$ , while removal of an electron from $O_{2}$ increases the bond order from $2$ to $2.5$ .

Statement 2 is false as removal of an electron from nitrogen atom is difficult as it is stable half-filled orbital.
Hence, option $C$ is correct.
