What is the bond order in NO2+?


Open in App
Solution

Bond Order:

  • Bond order is defined as the ratio of the number of bonds on all possible sides to the total number of resonating structures.

The formula used for calculation of bond order:

  • Bondorder=NumberofbondsinallpossiblesidesResonatingstructrures

Calculation for bond order of NO2+:

  • For calculating bond order of NO2+, resonating structures are required:
  • NO2+has two resonating structures.
  • The number of bond pairs in NO2+are 4 while 0 zero lone pairs are present.
  • The structure of NO2+is as follows:

Bondorder=NumberofbondsinallpossiblesidesResonatingstructruresBondorder=42=2

Thus, the bond order of NO2+is 2.
