Sum of bond order of CO and NO$^+$ is ________.
Answer (integer)
6
Solution
<p>$$\begin{array}{lcl}
\mathrm{CO} \Rightarrow & \overline{\mathrm{C}} \equiv \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{O}} & : \mathrm{BO}=3 \\
\mathrm{NO}^{+} \Rightarrow & \mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{O}^{+} & : \mathrm{BO}=3
\end{array}$$</p>
