Answer:
Bond orders
CN- =3
CN+ =2.5
CN =2
CN+ is paramagnetic
The order of increasing bond energy is CN <CN+ <CN-
The order of increasing bond length is CN- <CN+ <CN
Explanation:
The molecular orbital diagram of CN- is shown in the image attached. From that image, it is easy to deduce the bond order of the other related species. Bond length is in the reverse order as bond energy because the shorter the bond, the greater the bond energy. The specie with the highest bond order has the highest bond energy.
