From the following, identify the ions with same bond order. I. \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\) II. \(\mathrm{N}_2^{+}\) III. \(\mathrm{O}_2{ }^{2-}\) IV. \(\mathrm{NO}^{+}\)

  1. A I \& II only
  2. B II \& III only
  3. C I \& IV only
  4. D I \& III only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) I \& IV only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The bond order will be same for the species having the same total number of electrons. Thus, \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{NO}^{+}\)will have the same bond order as they both have a total of 14 electrons.
