[2018]
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) $NO:(\sigma 1 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 1 s)^{2},(\sigma 2 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 2 s)^{2},(\sigma 2 p_z)^{2}
B.O.
$CN^{-}:(\sigma 1 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 1 s)^{2},(\sigma 2 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 2 s)^{2}
B.O.
$CN:(\sigma 1 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 1 s)^{2},(\sigma 2 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 2 s)^{2}
B.O.
$CN^{+}:(\sigma 1 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 1 s)^{2},(\sigma 2 s)^{2},(\sigma^{} 2 s)^{2}$,
B.O.
Hence, option (2) should be the right answer.
