Select the statements that explain why the bond order of N2 is greater than that

Question

Select the statements that explain why the bond order of N2 is greater than that of N2 +, but the bond order of 0 2 is less than that of 0 2 +. In forming N2 + from N2, an electron is removed from the pi antibonding molecular orbital. In forming N2 + from N2, an electron is removed from the pi bonding molecular orbital. In forming N2 + from N2, an electron is removed from the sigma bonding molecular orbital. In forming 02 + from 02, an electron is removed from the pi bonding molecular orbital. In forming 02 + from 02, an electron is removed from the pi antibonding molecular orbital. In forming 0 2 + from 0 2, an electron is removed from the sigma antibonlling molecular orbital.

Explanation / Answer

The third and the fifth options are the correct statements. :)
