Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 78
Question: The common features among the species $ C{N^{-}} $ , CO and $ N{O^{+}} $ are
Options:
A) Bond order three and isoelectronic
B) Bond order three and weak field ligands
C) Bond order two and p-acceptors
D) Isoelectronic and weak field ligands
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Each of the species has 14 electron so isoelectronic and shows bond order 3. B.O. $ =\frac{1}{2}[N_{b}-N_{a}] $
$ =\frac{1}{2}[10-4]=\frac{6}{2}=3 $ .
