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.
