Match the species in Column I with the bond order in Column II.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Thus, on calculating we can get the bond order:

(i) (c);

So, Bond Order of NO = (15-10)

= 2.5

(ii) (d);

So, Bond Order of CO = (14-8)

= 3.

(iii) (a);

So, Bond Order of O₂^- = (10-7)

= 1.5

(iv) (b);

So, Bond Order of O₂ = (16-12)

= 2.
