Bond order and magnetic moment of CO+ is

Question

Bond order and magnetic moment of CO+ is (A) 2.5 and paramagnetic moment (B) 3.5 and diamagnetic moment (C) 3.5 and paramagentic moment (D) 2.5 and diamagnetic moment

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

HOMO of CO is a σ-non-bonding orbital with a fair degree of antibonding character. Loss of one electron lowers the anti-bonding electron number.

Q. Bond order and magnetic moment of $C O^{+}$ is
