Question: (a) The nitric oxide molecule, NO, readily loses one electron to form the NO+ ions. Why is this consistent with the electronic structure of NO?

(a) The nitric oxide molecule, NO, readily loses one electron to form the NO+ ions. Why is this consistent with the electronic structure of NO?
(b) Predict the order of the N-O bond strengths in NO, NO+, and NO-, and describe the magnetic properties of each.
(c) With what neutral homo nuclear diatomic molecules are the NO+ and NO- ions iso-electronic (same number of electrons)?
