Prepare a molecular orbital energy level diagram for NO, showing clearly how the atomic orbitals interact to form MO's
b) How does the diagram illustrate the difference in electronegativity between N and O?
c) Predict the bond order and number of unpaired electrons
d) NO+ and NO- are also known. Compare the bond orders of these ions with the bond order of NO. Which of the three would you predict to have the shortest bond? Why?
