JEE Main2004ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
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
- ABond length in NO ⁺ is greater than in NO
- BBond length is unpredictable
- CBond length in NO ⁺ in equal to that in NO
- DBond length in NO is greater than in NO ⁺
Correct answer
D. Bond length in NO is greater than in NO ⁺
Step-by-step solution
Bond order of NO =2.5 Bond order of NO ⁺=3 Higher the bond order shorter is the bond length
