From the following, identify the ions with same bond order.
I. $CN^{-}$ II. $N_{2}^{+}$
III. $O_{2}^{2 -}$ IV. $NO^{+}$

Question

From the following, identify the ions with same bond order. I. CN^- II. N_2^+ III. O_2 ^2- IV. NO^+

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. (c) The bond order will be same for the species having the same total number of electrons. Thus, CN^-and NO^+will have the same bond order as they both have a total of 14 electrons.

$From the following, identify the ions with same bond order. I. CN^{-} II. N_{2}^{+} III. O_{2}^{2 -} IV. NO^{+}$
