The species having bond order different from that in `CO` isA. `NO^-`B. `NO^+`C. `CN^-`D. `N_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`NO^+, CN^(-)` and `N_2` are isoelectronic with CO (containing 14 electrons each) Hence all of them have the same bond order , viz, 3 . `NO^-` has 16 electrons with the same configurations as that of `O_2`. Hence its bond order = 2.
