Which of the following has the highest value for bond order-C6H6,CO32-,NO-and SO 4 2− ?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Bond order (BO) can be calculated using the following methods:

(i)BO=Total number of bonds associated with the central atomNumber of σ bonds associated with the central atom

(or)

BO=Total number of bonds between two atomsTotal number of resonance structures

(ii) BO=Number of bonding electrons-Number of antibonding electrons2

We use both the concepts as per situation.

Thus,

(I) We use concept (i) for the speciesC6H6, CO32-and SO 4 2−  and concept (ii) forNO-.

On the basis of concepti

BO forC6H6=2+12=1.5

BO forCO32-=43=1.33





BO for SO 4 2− = 6 4 =1.5

On the basis of concept (ii)

BO ofNO-=7+8+1

=16electrons

∴ BOforNO-=10-62=2

Hence highest value forBOis ofNO-.
