Question

Which of these compounds has the stronger nitrogen–nitrogen bond? The shorter nitrogen–nitrogen bond?

Solution

Solution:Step-1(a)CO +Total number of electrons in CO ion is = 6+8-1=13 electrons.Hence the MO electronic configuration is, 2 2 2 2 2 2 11s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2p 2p x y z number of electron in bonding atomic orbital number of electron in antibonding orbitalBond order = 2 = 94 =5/2=2.5 2CO ion have one unpaired electron . hence it is paramagnetic.Step-2 - (a)NO ion - Total number of electrons in NO ion is = 7+8+1=16 electrons.Hence the MO electronic configuration is,
