JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2008 - No. 28)

Which of the following pair of species have the same bond order?
CN- and NO+
CN- and CN+
$$O_2^-$$ and CN-
NO+ and CN+

Explanation

Number of electron in NO+ = number of electron in CN– = 14 electrons.

As both have same number of electrons so their bond order is equal.

Moleculer orbital configuration of NO+ (14 electrons) is

= $${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,\,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,\,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\,= \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\pi _{2p_x^0}^ * = \,\,\pi _{2p_y^0}^ * $$

$$ \therefore $$ B.O = $${1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 4} \right]$$ = 3

Moleculer orbital configuration of CN- (14 electrons) is

= $${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ B.O = $${1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 4} \right]$$ = 3
