    Which of the following is paramagnetic with bond order 0.5?

    A)  \[{{F}_{2}}\]                     

    B)         \[H_{2}^{+}\]                   

    C)  \[{{N}_{2}}\]                    

    D)         \[O_{2}^{-}\]

    E)  \[{{B}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[H_{2}^{+}=\sigma 1{{s}^{1}}\] (According to molecular orbital theory) Bond order bonding electrons \[=\frac{-antibonding\text{ }electrons}{2}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\] \[H_{2}^{+}\]is paramagnetic due to the presence of one unpaired electron.
