Arrange the following ions in the order of decreasing X - O bond length, where X is the central atom
Options
- AClO ₄⁻, SO ₄²⁻, PO ₄³⁻, SiO ₄⁻
- BSiO ₄⁴⁻, PO ₄³⁻, SO ₄²⁻, ClO ₄⁻
- CSiO ₄⁴⁻, PO ₄³⁻, ClO ₄⁻, SO ₄²⁻
- DSiO ₄⁴⁻, SO ₄²⁻, PO ₄³⁻, ClO ₄⁻
Correct answer
B. SiO ₄⁴⁻, PO ₄³⁻, SO ₄²⁻, ClO ₄⁻
Step-by-step solution
More will be the electronegativity of X lesser will be the bond length of X - O bond.
