the following figure shows the bond distances for the homonuclear diatomics of the 2 nd period p-block elements, as well as those for some of the ions derived from these species.       i) Note that N 2 + has a longer bond distance than N 2, but O 2 + has a shorter bond distance than O 2. Explain this difference.         ii) Estimate the bond distance of N 2 - and justify your answer.
