The number of valence electrons in nitric oxide is`11`. Among these,one unpaired electron occupaies a`//`an

A

antibonding `sigma` orbital

B

bonding `pi` orbitals

C

bonding `sigma` orbitals

D

antibonding `pi` orbitals

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
it is colourless neutral paramagnetic gas its molecular orbital diagram resembles that of carbon monoxide ,but with one additional electron that occupies an antibounding orbital. Hence the prediated net bond order is `(2.5)`.
