JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 3. Classification of elements and periodicity in properties

The covalent radii of atoms A and B are \(r_A\) and \(r_B\), respectively. The covalent bond length and total length of AB molecule are respectively

  1. A \((r_A + r_B), 2(r_A + r_B)\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{1}{2}(r_A + r_B), (r_A + r_B)\)
  3. C \((r_A + r_B), (r_A + r_B)\)
  4. D \(2(r_A + r_B), \dfrac{1}{2}(r_A + r_B)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((r_A + r_B), 2(r_A + r_B)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The covalent bond length of the AB molecule is the internuclear distance between atom A and atom B. Bond length = \(r_A + r_B\) The total length of the AB molecule is the distance between the outermost boundaries of the two atoms along the internuclear axis. Total length =…
