NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
What is the equilibrium distance referred to in the definition of bond length?
Options
- AThe distance between two atoms at a fixed temperature
- BThe distance at which the bond is most stable
- CThe shortest distance between two atoms
- DThe distance between two atoms in a gaseous state
Correct answer
B. The distance at which the bond is most stable
Step-by-step solution
Bond length is defined as the equilibrium distance, which is the distance at which the bond is most stable.
