Which of the following option with respect to increasing bond dissociation energies is correct ?
A
NO < C2< O2–< He2+
B
C2< NO < He2+ < O2–
C
He2+< O2–< NO < C2
D
He2+ < O2–< C2< NO
Answer
He2+ < O2–< C2< NO
Explanation
Solution
He2+ bond order = 22−1=21;
O2– bond order =210−7=1.5
C2 bond order = 28−4=2 ;
NO bond order = 210−5=2.5
Bond order bond dissociation energy.
