  The energy of\[\sigma 2{{p}_{z}}\] molecular orbital is greater than \[\pi 2{{p}_{x}}\] and \[\pi 2{{p}_{y}}\] molecular orbitals in nitrogen molecule. Write complete sequence of energy levels in the increasing order of energy in the molecule. Compare the relative stability and magnetic behaviour of the following species : \[{{N}_{2}},N_{2}^{+},N_{2}^{-},N_{2}^{2+}\]                

Answer:

 

Species	Total elect-rons	Configuration	Bond order	Stability	Magnetic nature
\[{{N}_{2}}\]	14	\[KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}\]\[\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\sigma {{(2{{p}_{z}})}^{2}}\]	3	Most	D
\[N_{2}^{+}\]	13	\[KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}\]\[\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\sigma {{(2{{p}_{z}})}^{1}}\]	2.5	Less stable	P
\[N_{2}^{-}\]	15	\[KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}\]\[\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\sigma {{(2{{p}_{z}})}^{2}}{{\pi }^{*}}{{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{1}}\]	2.5	Less stable	P
\[N_{2}^{2+}\]	12	\[KK\sigma {{(2s)}^{2}}{{\sigma }^{*}}{{(2s)}^{2}}\pi {{(2{{p}_{x}})}^{2}}\]\[\pi {{(2{{p}_{y}})}^{2}}\]	2.0	Least stable	D
		D = Diamagnetic P = Paramagnetic
