Question
Which of the following statements is true? a. The triple bond in N_2 has a smaller bond order and a smaller bond length than the single bond in F_2. b. The triple bond in N_2 has a smaller bond order and a larger bond length than the single bond in F_2. c. The triple bond in N_2 and the single bond in F_2 have the same bond order and the same bond length. d. The triple bond in N_2 has a larger bond order and a smaller bond length than the single bond in F_2. e. The triple bond in N_2 has a larger bond order and a larger bond length than the single bond in F_2.
Explanation / Answer
28) Bond order is inversly proportioal to the bond length i.e.- higher is the bond order shoter is the bond length and vice versa.
In this context, the triple bond of N2 has a larger bond order nad smaller bondlength than single bond of F2
