MCQ
The bond order in $NO$ is $2.5$ while that in $N{O^ + }$ is $3.$ Which of the following statements is true for these two species
  • A
    Bond length in $N{O^ + }$ is equal to that in $NO$
  • Bond length in $NO$ is greater than in $N{O^ + }$
  • C
    Bond length in $N{O^ + }$ is greater than in $NO$
  • D
    Bond length is unpredictable

Answer

Correct option: B.
Bond length in $NO$ is greater than in $N{O^ + }$
(b) Higher the bond order, shorter will be the bond length,

thus $N{O^ + }$ having the higher bond order that is $3$ as compared to $NO$ having bond order $2$

so $N{O^ + }$ has shorter bond length.
