The bond order in NO is 2.5 while that in NO+ is 3. Which of the following statements is true for these two species?
-
Bond length in NO+ is greater than in NO
-
Bond length is unpredictable
-
Bond length in NO+ in equal to that in NO
-
Bond length in NO is greater than in NO+
D.
Bond length in NO is greater than in NO+
Bond length is inversely proportional to bond -order bond order in NO+ = 3, NO = 2.5
Thus bond length in NO> NO+
