The order of increasing C-O bond energy is single bond < double bond < triple bond. Single bonds are the weakest and have the lowest bond energy, while triple bonds are the strongest and have the highest bond energy.

What is the bond order of CO?

The bond order of carbon monoxide (CO) is 3.


Why bond order of co is greater than that of co plus?

CO+ has a shorter bond length than CO- so its bond order is greater! As student yoyu are prbably expecte to use an MO diagram removing an electron from the HOMO highest occupied molecular orbital. there are different diagrams around. Some of them indicate that bond order will increase as you are removing an electron from an anti-bonding orbital a 2s-sigma. You may wish to look at the digram that your teacher has recommended and use that to get the "right" answer - the test is how to use MO diagrams after all.


Each what molecules has a C-O bond Rank these molecules from smallest C-O bond order to largest?

The C-O bond order from smallest to largest would be: C-O single bond in methanol, C-O double bond in formaldehyde, and C-O triple bond in carbon monoxide.


What is the bond order of OF plus?

CO is not a homo-nuclear atom like C2, N2 or even O3, O3 (both these categories are different: with and without 2s-2p mixing). So there is a large discrepancy in the atomic energy levels of 2s, 2p e- of C and O.As a result, 2p(pi)x, 2p(pi)y and 2p(sigma)z have lower energy than 2s(sigma)*. So the e- lost is from 2s(sigma)*2 and not 2p(sigma)z. And hence the bond order increases from 3 to 3.5 and not decreases to 2.5 . (The typical school textbook formula doesn't work for species like CO,CO+ and even NO,NO+ in many situations):-)


In organic chemistry what kind of bond is a peptide bond?

This type of bond exists in proteins, it is amide bond formed between nitrogen atom of one molecule and carbonyl carbon of 2nd molecule , as R-CO-NH-CH(R)-CO-
