Consider the following statement
(A) molecules has a trigonal planar structure.
(B) Bond Length of is shorter than .
(C) Isoelectronic molecules or ions have identical bond order.
(D) Dipole moment of is higher than that of water molecule.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- and are correct
- and are correct
- and are correct
- and are correct
Solution
In , nitrogen is having three bond pairs and a lone pair, hence, it has pyramidal shape.
The bond order of and The bond order of . Bond length is inversely related to bond order. Hence, bond length of is shorter than
Isoelectronic species have identical bond order

Dipole moment of is more than that of due to higher electronegativity of .
