The species having bond order different from that in `CO` isA. `NO^(+)`B. `NO^(-)`C. `N_2`D. `CN^(-)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Isoelectronic species usually have the same bond order. `NO^(+), CN^(-)`, and `N_2` are isoelectronic with `CO`(14 electrons each). Hence, all of them possess the same bond order which is 3. On the other hand, `NO^(-)` has 16 electrons. Its configuration is identical to that of `O_2`, hence, its bond order is 2. |
