Why bond energy of n2 is greater than CN |
|
Answer» The strength of the π bonding in the TRIPLY bonded dinitrogen is less than that of the σ bonding. ... The contribution of the π bonding in CO is larger (49.2%) than in N2 (34.3%). The reason why CO has a stronger BOND than N2 is the significantly weaker Pauli repulsion in CO. |
