Question

Which of the following statements is true? a. The triple bond in N_2 and the single bond in F_2 have the same bond order and the same bond length. b. The triple bond in N_2 has a larger bond order and a larger bond length than the single bond in F_2. c. The triple bond in N_2 has a smaller bond order and a smaller bond length than the single bond in F_2. 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 smaller bond order and a larger bond length than the single bond in F_2.

Explanation / Answer

N2 has bond order 3 and bond length of triple bond is 110 pm

and F2 has bond order 1 and bond length 142 pm

Therefore, answer is d. triple bond in N2 has larger bond order and smaller bond length than single bond in F2.
