The bond lengths of C2, N2 and B2 molecules are X1,X2 and X3pm respectively. The correct order of their bond lengths is

  1. A X3>X1>X2
  2. B X2>X3>X1
  3. C X1>X2>X3
  4. D X1>X3>X2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) X3>X1>X2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bond length is inversely related to bond order. The bond orders of given molecules can be calculated using molecular orbital theory. bond order =Number of BMO e--Number of ABMO e-2 BMO = Bonding molecular orbital ABMO = Anti bonding…
