Bond strength propto Bond order removal of electron from antibonding MO increases B.O. NO O 2 has valence e - in π * orbital.

Q. Bonding in which of the following diatomic molecule(s) become(s) stronger, on the basis of MO Theory, by removal of an electron ?
(A) $NO$
(B) $N_{2}$
(C) $O_{2}$
(D) $C_{2}$
(E) $B_{2}$
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :-

(A),(B),(C) only

(B), (C), (E) only

(A),(C) only

(D) only

Bond strength $\propto$ Bond order
removal of electron from antibonding $MO$ increases B.O.
$NO & O_{2}$ has valence $e -$ in $π *$ orbital.
