NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Given below are two statements
Statement I : A hypothetical diatomic molecule with bond order zero is quite stable.
Statement II : As bond order increases, the bond length increase.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II are false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II are true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left.\begin{array}{l} He _2 \\ Be _2 \\ Ne _2\end{array}\right\} \begin{array}{l}\text {Bond order}=0 \text { (does not exist) } \\ \text {Statement I is false}\end{array}\)
Bond order \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Bond length }}\)
Statement II is false
