JEE Main2018ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
In the above compound, the bond orders of bonds I and II are:
Options
- AI < 2 ,   II > 2
- BI > 2 ,   II > 2
- CI > 2 ,   II < 2
- DI < 2 ,   II < 2
Correct answer
A. I < 2 ,   II > 2
Step-by-step solution
Azide ion N 3 - Bond order: I < 2 Bond Order: II > 2 Due to the delocalisation in I double character increase in single bond and II triple bond character decrease in triple bond (double bond character comes).
