Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 425
Question: Among the following, the species having the smallest bond is
Options:
A) $ N{O^{-}} $
B) $ N{O^{+}} $
C) $ O{ _2} $
D) $ NO $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- $ N{O^{-}}( 16 )-B.O.-2 $
$ O_2( 16 )-B.O.-2 $
$ N{O^{+}}(14)-B.O.-3 $
$ NO( 15 )-B.O.-2.5 $ Higher the bond order lower is the bond length. Hence $ N{O^{+}} $ will have smallest bond.
