4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
easy
The bond order in $NO$ is $2.5$ while that in $N{O^ + }$ is $3.$ Which of the following statements is true for these two species
A
Bond length in $N{O^ + }$ is equal to that in $NO$
B
Bond length in $NO$ is greater than in $N{O^ + }$
C
Bond length in $N{O^ + }$ is greater than in $NO$
D
Bond length is unpredictable
(AIEEE-2004)
Solution
(b) Higher the bond order, shorter will be the bond length,
thus $N{O^ + }$ having the higher bond order that is $3$ as compared to $NO$ having bond order $2$
so $N{O^ + }$ has shorter bond length.
