Arrange the following species in the decreasing order of their bond orders:
Options
- A(I) > (II) > (III)
- B(II) > (I) > (III)
- C(II) > (III) > (I)
- D(III) > (II) > (I)
Correct answer
B. (II) > (I) > (III)
Step-by-step solution
( The strength of bond is determined by bond order (BO). Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital (a) - Number of electrons in BO = antibonding molecular orbital (b) 2
