Bond order of $CO^+$ is 3.5 due to it's unique molecular orbital configuration

Here the electron lost is from $\sigma^* 2s$ instead of $\sigma {2p}_{z}$

How could B.O. Be greater than 3???

Due to its typical nature here the electron lost is from $\sigma^* 2s$ instead of $\sigma {2p}_{z}$ ............Do you got it now

Isnt it that $N_{2}^{-}$ has B.O as 3.5?

I guess you misunderstood the question . It's (N2)-

Btw Bond order is calculated for Bonds . (N)2- don't have bond. So of course the option is (N2)- only :)

Oops ya :'(. I saw it wrong. Sorry bhaiya.

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 9 months ago

But it must be written up. Isnt it?
