(i) Write the resonance structures for ozone molecule and N_(2)O? (ii) Draw MO diagram of CO and calculate its bond order.

Answer»

Solution :(i) • Ozone molecule,`O_(3)` • Nitrous oxide, `N_(2)O`
(ii) 1. Electronic configuration of Catom: `1S^(2)2S^(2)2p^(2)`
Electronic configuration of O atom: `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(4)`
2. Electronic configuration of CO molecule is: `sigma1s^(2) sigma^(**)1s^(2) sigma2s^(2) sigma^(**)2s^(2) pi2p_(y)^(2) pi2p_(z)^(2) sigma2p_(X)^(2)`
3. Bond ORDER `(N_(b)-N_(a))/(2)=(10-4)/(2)=3`
4. Molecule has no unpaired electron, hence it is diamagnetic.
