Question
The bond order in NO is 2.5 while that in NO+ is 3. Which of the following statements is true for these two species?
Options
A.Bond length in NO+ is greater than in NO
B.Bond length is unpredictable
C.Bond length in NO+ in equal to that in NO
D.Bond length in NO is greater than in NO+
Solution
Bond order of NO = 2.5
Bond order of NO+ = 3
Higher the bond order shorter is the bond length
Bond order of NO+ = 3
Higher the bond order shorter is the bond length
