Solution
The correct option is DCO<CO2<CO2–3 Bondlengthα1Bondorder
Bond order of CO = 3 (as its isoelectronic with N2) Bondorder=TotalnumberofbondsinallpossiblestructuresNumberofresonatingstructures [If there is resonance]
BondorderofCO2=42=2 BondorderofCO2−3=43=1.33 So, order of C–O bond lengths is CO<CO2<CO2–3
