The species CO, CN^(-),and NO^(+) which ...

The species `CO, CN^(-)`,and `NO^(+)` which are isoelectronic with `N_(2)`, are much more reactive than `N_(2)` because

A

these species have higher bond enthalpies

B

these species behaveas Lewis acids

C

the bond in these species are partly polar whilst in `N_(2)` theyare not

D

the bonds in these species are purely covalent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Isoelectronic species such as `CO, CN^(-)` and `NO^(+)` are much more reactive than`N_(2)` because dinitrogen is nonpolar whereas isoelectronic species are polar.
