?(a) The nitric oxide molecule, NO, readily loses one electron to form the NO+ ion
Chapter 9, Problem 9.82(choose chapter or problem)
(a) The nitric oxide molecule, NO, readily loses one electron to form the NO+ ion. Which of the following is the best explanation of why this happens: (i) Oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen, (ii) The highest energy electron in NO lies in a \(\pi_{2 p}^{*}\) molecular orbital, or (iii) The \(\pi_{2 p}^{*}\) MO in NO is completely filled.
(b) Predict the order of the N 一 O bond strengths in NO, NO+, and NO-, and describe the magnetic properties of each.
(c) With what neutral homonuclear diatomic molecules are the NO+ and NO- ions isoelectronic (same number of electrons)?
