Question

Of the species, $NO,N{O}^{+},N{O}^{2+},N{O}^{-},$ the one with minimum bond strength is :

• A. $N{O}^{2+}$
• B. $N{O}^{+}$
• C. NO
• D. $N{O}^{-}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Bond order of $N{O}^{2+}=2.5$

Bond order of $N{O}^{+}=3$

Bond order of $NO=2.5$

Bond order of $N{O}^{-}=2$

Bond order $\alpha$ bond strength.
