molecular orbital

Will the molecular orbital structure for N2- and O2+ and NO (all three have same no. of electrons) be same or different? What about their bond order?

Explanation is required.

all three of these are linear in structure.

and ya, all three of them will have same bond order of 2.5.

just hving a doubt about O2+. this mmmmmight be an exception with bond order 1.5. i'll check it out

via M O T everything is same about them

M.O.T deals with no of electron and no of centers only (although not applicable as IIT is concern)

but sir, I had given a test (probably here) that said that the MO structure (elec. config) of N2- and O2+ will be different.

For O2+ it will be similar to O2 but with 1 elec. less
while for N2- the config will be similar to N2 but with 1 elec. more

And str. for N2 and O2 are different

no not via M.O.T and regarding C.F.T also the case of di-atomics or two centers remains the same
