Calculate the total number of molecules that will possess fractional bond order among the following molecules
O2+2,N2+2,O+2,NO,CO,CO+,O−2,NO2+,CN−,NO2−,N−2
mass | molecular configuration | molecules |
⩽14 | σ1s,σ∗1s,σ2s,σ2s∗,π(px=Py),σpz,π∗(px=Py),σ∗pz | N 22 + CO CO + CN − N2− |
>14 | σ1s,σ∗1s,σ2s,σ2s∗,σpz,π(px=Py),π∗(px=Py),σ∗pz | O22 + O2+ NO O2− NO 2 + NO 2 − |
O+2= 2.5, NO=2.5 , CO+=3.5
O−2=1.5, NO2+=2.5, NO2− =1.5
N−2 = 2.5
