हिन्दीConsider the following species: \( \text{CN}^+, \text{CN}^-, \text{NO}, \text{CN} \) Which one of these will have the highest bond order?
Correct answer · Option 2
\( \text{CN}^- \)
Explanation
\( \text{CN}^- \) has 14 electrons with a bond order of \( 3.0 \). \( \text{NO} \) has 15 electrons (bond order 2.5), \( \text{CN} \) has 13 electrons (bond order 2.5), \( \text{CN}^+ \) has 12 electrons (bond order 2.0).
