The correct order of bond order values among the following
(i) `NO^(-)`
(ii) `NO^(+)`
(iii) `NO`
(iv) `NO^(2+)`
(v) `NO^(2-)`

Options

A. `a lt d ltc lt b lt e`
B. `d=b lta lteltc`
C. `e lt a lt d=cltb`
D. `bltcltdltalte`

Answer

C

Explanation

`NO=KK(sigma_(2s))^2 (sigma_(2s)^**)^2(sigma_(2pz))^2(pi_(2px))^2 (pi_(2py))^2 (pi_(2px)^**)^1`
B.O. = `1/2(8-3)=5/2=2.5`
