CO is isoelectronic with NO+ and N2. So, options (a) and (b) are the right answers. CO has 14 electrons, 8 from oxygen and 6 from carbon. NO has 15 electrons 8 from oxygen and 7 from nitogen. But, as it becomes NO+, it loses an electron and the number of electrons is 14. Similarly, N2 has 14 electrons,...

CO is isoelectronic with both NO+ and N2 because both have 14 e- which are equal to CO e-s . For isoelectronic specie we see total e-s present in specie not only valence e-s.

Answer is both a and b. Reading: One is bonding character of co , no+, n2 is almost same.ie .both having pi back bonding. But n2 is not polar and has strong pi back bond since bond order is purely 3. In CO and no+ bond order not exactly 3. Even no+ has linear or bent geometry based on hybridization....

Which one of the following alkaline earth metal carbonates is thermally most stable?
(a) MgCO3 (b) CaCO3 (c) SrCO3 (d) BaCO3
MgCO3 is most stable alkaline earth metal because it is present in first period.Due to this its nuclear charge is less as compare to other.Due to its less nuclear charge its bond length is small thus it is more stable.
