Pick the incorrect statement among those given below.
Options
- AMultiple covalent bonds are shorter, than single covalent bonds between same set of atoms.
- BBond strength varies inversely with bond length.
- CBond order of isoelectronic species will be same.
- DBond enthalpy increases with increasing bond length.
Correct answer
D. Bond enthalpy increases with increasing bond length.
Step-by-step solution
Bond enthalpy decreases with increasing bond length as the intermolecular force of attraction decreases with increase in the distance between the constituent particles.
