Solution
The correct option is CO2−2>O2>O2+2: paramagnetic moment
(A) NO− > NO > NO+ - correct sequence Bond length ∝1Bondorder (i) NO− has a Bond order of →10−62=2 (ii) NO has Bond order of →10−52=2.5 (iii) NO+ has Bond order of →10−42=3
(B) H2>H+2>He+2 - correct sequence Bond Energy ∝ Bond order Bond order of H2 = 2−02=1 Bond order of H+2= 1−02=0.5
Bond order of He2 = 2−22=0
Paramagnetism: determined by the no. of unpaired electrons in the molecular orbital.
O2−2 = No unpaired electrons- Diamagnetic
O2= 2 unpaired electrons in π*2py and π*2pz respectively - Para magnetic
O2+2 = No unpaired electron - Diamagnetic
Hence Only O2 is Paramagnetic NO+2>NO2>NO−2 - is in correct sequence NO+2 should have greater bond angle than NO−2 since in NO+2 there are only 2 bonds and no lone pairs available, so bond angle becomes 180degree.
Option C is incorrect. Hence, option C is the answer.
