The common features, among the species CN-, CO, and NO+ are:
Correct answer: A. Bond order 3 and Isoelectronic
- A. Bond order 3 and Isoelectronic
- B. Bond order three and weak field ligands
- C. Bond order two and π acceptors
- D. Isoelectronic and weak field ligands
Explanation
Each of these have same number of electrons;Number of electrons in CO = 6+8 = 14Number of electrons in CN- = 6+7+1 = 14Number of electrons in NO+ = 7+8-1 = 14 The species having same number of electrons are called iso-electronic. Iso-electronic species have same bond order.Bond order is number of chemical bonds present between a pair of atoms. There are 3 chemical bonds between C and O in CO, C and N in CN- and N and O in NO+ so all of these have same bond order of 3.Hence, all the given species are iso- electronic and have same bond order. So, option A is correct.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
