    Correct Option - 3


    Detailed Solution:

    Bond strength  Bond order

    N 2 σ 1 s 2 σ 1 s * 2 σ 2 s 2 σ 2 s * 2 π 2 p x 2 π 2 p y 2 σ 2 p z 2  

    O 2 σ 1 s 2 σ 1 s * 2 σ 2 s 2 σ 2 s * 2 σ 2 p z 2 π 2 p x 2 π 2 p y 2 π 2 p x * 1 π 2 p y * 1

    C 2 σ 1 s 2 σ 1 s * 2 σ 2 s 2 σ 2 s * 2 π 2 p x 2 π 2 p y 2  

    B 2 σ 1 s 2 σ 1 s * 2 σ 2 s 2 σ 2 s * 2 π 2 p x 1 π 2 p y 1  

    NO ® Number of electron = 7 + 8 = 15

    B.O. Similar to  N 2  

    N 2 σ 1 s 2 σ 1 s * 2 σ 2 s 2 σ 2 s * 2 π 2 p x 2 π 2 p y 2 σ 2 p z 2 π 2 p x * 1 π 2 p y *  

    B.O. of N2 = 3     B.O of C2 = 8 4 2 = 2  

    Removal of e- form antibonding molecular orbital increases bond order.

    In NO & O2 has valance e- in p orbital.
