JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2008 - No. 29)

Which one of the following constitutes a group of the isoelectronic species?
$$C_2^{2 - }$$, $$O_2^{-}$$, CO, NO
$$NO^{+}$$, $$C_2^{2 - }$$, CN-, $$N_2$$
CN-, $$N_2$$, $$O_2^{2-}$$, $$C_2^{2 - }$$
$$N_2$$, $$O_2^{-}$$, $$NO^{+}$$, CO

Explanation

Species No. of electrons
C22- 12+2 = 14
O2- 16+1 = 17
CO 6+8 = 14
NO 7+8 = 15
NO+ 7+8-1 = 14
C22- 12+2 = 14
CN- 6+7+1 = 14
N2 14
CN- 6+7+1 = 14
N2 14
O22- 16+2 = 18
C2 12
N2 14
O2- 16+1 = 17
NO+ 7+8-1 = 14
CO 6+8 = 14


So, option $$(B)$$ is correct.
