Question

Among the following, the species having the smallest bond is (A) NO- (B) NO+ (C) O2 (D) NO

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

NO-(16)-B.O.-2 02(16) - B.O. - 2 NO+(14) - B.O. - 3 NO(15)-B.O.-2.5 Higher the bond order lower is the bond length. Hence NO+ will have smallest bond.

Q. Among the following, the species having the smallest bond is

$N O^{-}$

$N O^{+}$

$O_{2}$

$NO$

$N O^{-} (16) - B . O . - 202 (16) - B . O . - 2$
$NO + (14) - B . O . - 3 NO (15) - B . O . - 2.5$ Higher the bond order lower is the bond length. Hence $N O^{+}$ will have smallest bond.
