Assertion : `F_(2)and O_(2)^(2-)`have bond order 1 while `N_(2),CO and NO^(+)` have bond order 3.
Reason : Higher the bond order, higher is the stability of the molecule.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason in not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Isoelectronic molecules and ions have identical bond orders, `F_(2) and O_(2)^(2-)` are isoelectronic with 18 electrons each and `N_(2), CO and NO^(+)` are isoelectronic with 14 electrons each.
