Measured CO bond length is 1.128 Å, & bond length of CO+ is 1.115 Å.
The Bond Order in CO+ is 3.5 .
The highest occupied molecular orbital (or HOMO) is the σ *2s MO. Bond order is defined as the number of electrons in bonding MOs minus the number of electrons in antibonding MOs .
The order of energy of the orbitals is “not” the same as it would be for a homonuclear diatomic molecule such as O2 where both atoms are the same.For heteroatomic dinuclear molecule, energy of BMO closely matches with those of more electronegative atom & energy of ABMO closely matches with those of less electronegative atom.
