  1. A Multiple covalent bonds are shorter, than single covalent bonds between same set of atoms.
  2. B Bond strength varies inversely with bond length.
  3. C Bond order of isoelectronic species will be same.
  4. D Bond enthalpy increases with increasing bond length.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Bond enthalpy increases with increasing bond length.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bond enthalpy decreases with increasing bond length as the intermolecular force of attraction decreases with increase in the distance between the constituent particles.
