Q. In the change of $NO \, \to\, NO^+$ the electron is added to

Delhi UMET/DPMTDelhi UMET/DPMT 2009Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

M.O. configuration of $NO ^{+}$is
$\sigma 1 s^{2}, \sigma^{*} 1 s^{2}, \sigma 2 s^{2}, \sigma^{*} 2 s^{2}, \pi 2 p_{x}^{2} \approx \pi 2 p_{y}^{2}, \pi 2 p_{z}^{2}$
and M.O. configuration of $NO$ is
$\sigma 1 s^{2}, \sigma^{*} 1 s^{2}, \sigma 2 s^{2}, \sigma^{*} 2 s^{2}, \pi 2 p_{x}^{2} \approx \pi 2 p_{y}^{2}, \pi^{*} 2 p_{x}^{1}$
