Solution
The correct option is D2.5 The resonating structures for N2O are given below:
In 1st structure, there are three bonds between both nitrogen and in 2nd structure, there are two bonds. So a total of 6 bonds is present in 5 resonating structures.
Average bond order is given by Total no. of bondsTotal No. of canonical structures=52=2.5
Hence, (d) is correct.
