Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 362

Question: The bond order in NO is 2.5 while that in $ N{O^{+}} $ is 3. Which of the following statements is true for these two species [AIEEE 2004]

Options:

A) Bond length in $ N{O^{+}} $ is equal to that in $ NO $

B) Bond length in $ NO $ is greater than in $ N{O^{+}} $

C) Bond length in $ N{O^{+}} $ is greater than in $ NO $

D) Bond length is unpredictable

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Higher the bond order, shorter will be the bond length, thus $ N{O^{+}} $ having the higher bond order that is 3 as compared to $ NO $ having bond order 2 so $ N{O^{+}} $ has shorter bond length.
