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....
