Bond order = No. of electron in bonding MOs
= (No.of electron in antibonding orbital/2)
MO Conguration :
N2( Total 14e-) =σ1s^2 σ*1s^2 σ2s^2 σ*2s^2 (π2px^2 =π2py^2 )σ2pz^2
thus Bond order = 10-4/2 =6/2= 3
N2^+ (Total 13e-) =σ1s^2 σ*1s^2 σ2s^2 σ*2s^2 (π2px^2)=π2py^2)σ2pz^1
thus Bond order = 9-4/2=5/2= 2.5
according the molecular orbital theory, N2 has more antibonding electrons than N2+. Also, more antibonding electrons lead to instability.
Thus N2+ is more stable than N2
