Which of the following is correct regarding bond energies of `NO, NO^(+) and NO^(-)` ?

Options

A. `NO^(-) gtNO gt NO^(+)`
B. `NO^(+) gt NO^(-) gt NO`
C. `NO gt NO^(-) gt NO^(+)`
D. `NO^(+) gtNO gt NO^(-)`

Answer

D

Explanation

Higher the bond order, higher is its bond energy.
`{:(,NO^(+), NO,NO^(-)),("Bond order",3,2.5,2.0):}`
