2nd question
what is the bond order of N22-
which of the following is the non polar species?
a- AsO3-1
b- SO3-2
c- ClO3-1
d- NO3-1
guys how to solve it?
2) you can do it by usual mot. but theres a trick (not really since it is derived from mot only) for 14 electrons bond order is 3 .as you move to the right/left by 1 elec. bond order decreases by 0.5 (this works only upto certain)
so since N2 2- = 16 elec => bond order = 2
