Bond Length is inversely proportional to bond order

Calculate their bond orders

yeah can u tell me the bond order of 1st one? like the structure of CO and CO+ ?

BO of CO is 3

& CO+ = 3.5

This is the very easiest method to find Bond order bond length and bond strength.
Now in question
CO+ = 6 + 8 - 1 = 13 electrons...so BO = 2.5
CO = 14 electrons so BO = 3.
Now If BO is high then strength will be high and Bond length will be low...
So First one incorrect....

For other options calculate the respective no. of electron considering the outer most electrons...match with column given in image and get ur answer...

n1=sum of valence electron of all the atoms of the species +- net charge on species
n2=(8xno of atoms other than H) +(2x no of H atoms)

then bond order is given by=(n2 -n1)2

CO

n1=4+6=10

n2=2x8=16

BO OF CO=(16-10)/2 =3

CO+

n1=4+6+1=11

n2=2x8=16

BO OF CO+=(16-11)/2 =2.5

BO of C0 >BO of CO+

HENCE bond length of CO+> bond length of CO .........similarly do it for others

....what's problem man...both the post are clearly written...then also u are not getting... i am clearifying once again...

Step 1: You have to find out the toatl no of electrons..
ex. CO+
C has 6 e- O has 8 6- and there is + charge so one electron is removed
hence total no. of electron is equal to 8 + 6 - 1 = 13.
In my table what is its bond order...it is 2.5

For CO what will be? it will be 3 coz electron are 14 clear???

So Bondlength is inversely proportinal to Bondorder
Hence CO < CO+

secon ex. NO+ and NO
NO+ = 7 + 8 - 1 = 14 hence B.O = 3
NO = 8 + 7 = 15 hence B.O = 2.5

Again NO>NO+ in bond length.

ex:3] N2+ and N2

N2 = 14 B.O = 3
N2+ = 13 B.O = 2.5 hence N2+>N2 in case of Bond length..

ex:4] O2+ and O2

O2 = 2x8 = 16 B.O = 2
O2+ = 15 B.O = 2.5

hence O2 > O2+ in Bond length...

Cheers body i have solve all the option...

BO of CO+ is 3.5 indeed... (given in JD LEE) It is not explained by MO theory
