Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
DBond length in NO is greater than in NO+
Step-by-step explanation
Molecular orbital configuration of NO (15 electrons) is
Nb = 10
Na = 5
BO = = 2.5
Similarly Molecular orbital configuration of NO+ (14 electrons) is
Nb = 10
Na = 4
BO = = 3
Note :
(2) Bond length
So, bond length in NO > NO+
Nb = 10
Na = 5
BO = = 2.5
Similarly Molecular orbital configuration of NO+ (14 electrons) is
Nb = 10
Na = 4
BO = = 3
Note :
(2) Bond length
So, bond length in NO > NO+
