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 in NO is greater than in NO ⁺
- CBond length in NO ⁺ is equal to that in NO
- DBond length is unpredictable
Correct answer
B. Bond length in NO is greater than in NO ⁺
Step-by-step solution
Bond order 1 bond length BO of NO BO of NO ⁺ Bond length of NO is greater than the bond length of NO ⁺ .
