Step-by-step solution

To determine which pair does not have the same bond order, we need to calculate the bond order for each species using the Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) formula:

Let's calculate the total number of electrons and then the bond order for each species:

A) N and CN

  • N: Total electrons = 7 + 7 = 14. Electron configuration: .
    Bond Order =
  • CN: Total electrons = 6 + 7 + 1 (for negative charge) = 14. Electron configuration is similar to N.
    Bond Order =
  • Bond orders are the same (3).

B) O and NO

  • O: Total electrons = 8 + 8 - 1 = 15. Electron configuration: .
    Bond Order =
  • NO: Total electrons = 7 + 8 = 15. Electron configuration is similar to O.
    Bond Order =
  • Bond orders are the same (2.5).

C) F and O

  • F: Total electrons = 9 + 9 + 1 = 19. Electron configuration: .
    Bond Order =
  • O: Total electrons = 8 + 8 + 2 = 18. Electron configuration: .
    Bond Order =
  • Bond orders are different (0.5 and 1).

D) B and CN

  • B: Total electrons = 5 + 5 + 2 = 12. Electron configuration: .
    Bond Order =
  • CN: Total electrons = 6 + 7 - 1 = 12. Electron configuration is similar to B.
    Bond Order =
  • Bond orders are the same (2).

Therefore, the pair F and O does not have the same bond order.

Correct Answer: (C)
