What is the bond order in CO molecule?
- A 1
- B 3
- C 2
- D \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Lewis theory the bond order is equal to the number of bonds between the two atoms in a molecule.
\(\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{O}\) has bond order 3.
\(\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{O}\) has bond order 3.
