JEE Main 2008Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question with Solution

From: AIEEE 2008

Question

Which of the following pair of species have the same bond order?

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
ACN- and NO+

Step-by-step explanation

Number of electron in NO+ = number of electron in CN = 14 electrons.

As both have same number of electrons so their bond order is equal.

Moleculer orbital configuration of NO+ (14 electrons) is

=

B.O = = 3

Moleculer orbital configuration of CN- (14 electrons) is

=

B.O = = 3
