1.	Account for the following: (i) has a higher bond dissociation energy than NO. (ii) and CO both have the same bond order but CO is more reactive than .
Answer» lecule has 14 ELECTRONS totally. Three is the bond order in . In NO molecule ,2.5 is the bond order. So, the order of bond for molecule is greater than NO molecule. Hence molecule has higher bond dissociation ENERGY than NO.(ii) “Three is the order of bond for CO” . molecule which is EQUAL to CO. Both and CO are isoelectronic. Because of high electronegativity difference, CO is highly reactive than . And CO is also more polar than .
