Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 121
####125. The correct order of $N-O$ bond lengths in $NO$, $NO_2^{-}, NO_3{ }^{-}$and $N_2 O_4$ is
[1996]
(a) $N_2 O_4>NO_2^{-}>NO_3^{-}>NO$
(b) $NO>NO_3^{-}>N_2 O_4>NO_2^{-}$
(c) $NO_3^{-}>NO_2^{-}>N_2 O_4>NO$
(d) $NO>N_2 O_4>NO_2^{-}>NO_3^{-}$
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) The $N-O$ bond length decreases in the order
