CO+ is more stable than CO because the total no. of electrons in it completes the octet.
Why is it so?
- CO and CO+ Bond lengths are 1.128 Angstrom and 1.115 Angstrom individually.
- Bond order of CO+ is 3.5 and CO bond request is 3.
- So CO+ is a more steady bond than CO since it finishes the octet which makes it stable all alone without taking or giving electrons to different atoms.
- CO atom is neutral.
- Bond order of CO+ relies upon hybridisation of the atom.
