1.	Among the molecules No+, N2 and No2 identifiy the species which is isoelectronic with Co
Answer» CO is isoelectronic with NO+ and N2. CO has 14 electrons, 8 from oxygen and 6 from carbon. NO has 15 electrons 8 from oxygen and 7 from nitogen. But, as it becomes NO+, it loses an electron and the number of electrons is 14. Similarly, N2 has 14 electrons, 7 from each of the nitrogen atoms.
