Correct answer: A
- Use bond order formula
According to MO theory,
where = number of electrons in bonding MOs and = number of electrons in antibonding MOs.
- For
First, has 16 electrons, so has 18 electrons.
For oxygen and beyond, the MO filling order is:
In , bond order is 2. Adding two more electrons to form fills the two antibonding orbitals.
So bond order decreases by 1:
- For
Carbon has 6 electrons and oxygen has 8 electrons, so total electrons:
is isoelectronic with (14 electrons).
For 14-electron species like and , bond order is:
So,
- For
Nitrogen has 7 electrons, oxygen has 8 electrons, and the positive charge means one electron is removed:
So is also isoelectronic with and .
Hence,
- Final sequence
Thus, the bond orders for , and respectively are:
So the correct option is:
A: and
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = A.
Our derived answer = A.
So they agree.
