Question

Assertion :Bond order for both $N{O}^{+}$ and $N{O}^{-}$ is $2.5$. Reason: $N{O}^{+}$ is more stable than $N{O}^{-}$.

Read the above assertion and reason and choose the correct option regarding it.

• A. Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is NOT the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is true, Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false, Reason is true

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Assertion is false, Reason is true

The bond order of $N{O}^{+}$ is $3$. The bond order of $N{O}^{-}$ is $2.5$
Hence, $N{O}^{+}$ is more stable than $N{O}^{-}$.
Thus, Assertion is false, Reason is true.
