In the `N_(2)O`molecule the

A

`N-N` bond length is greater than `N-O` bond length

B

`N-N` bond length is shorter than the `N-O` bond length

C

`N-N` bond length is nearly equal to `N-O` bond length

D

`N-N` bond length is half of the `N-O` bond length

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
Dinitrogen oxide `(N_(2)O)` is isoelectronic with `CO_(2)` and the `N_(3)^(-)` ion. However, contrary to what one might expect, the atoms are arranged asymmetrically, with a `N-N` bond length of `113` pm and a `N-O` bond legth of `119` pm.
