The intermolecular potential energy for the molecules A , B , C and D given below suggests that:
Options
- AA - D has the shortest bond length
- BA - A has the largest bond enthalpy
- CD is more electronegative than other atoms.
- DA - B has the stiffest bond.
Correct answer
D. A - B has the stiffest bond.
Step-by-step solution
Bond enthalpy of AB bond is highest so A - B bond is more strong and B is highest electronegative atom. Order of bond length ⇒ A - A < A - B < A - C < A - D
