Question

The species having bond order different from that in CO is (A) N O- (B) N O+ (C) C N- (D) N2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

N O-is a 16 electron system (7+8+1=16) with zero bond order, whereas the other molecules such as CO , NO +, CN -and N2 are 14 electron systems with bond order of 3 .

Q. The species having bond order different from that in $CO$ is
