JEE Main2009ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Using MO theory predict which of the following species has the shortest bond length ?
Options
- AO ₂²⁺
- BO ₂⁺
- CO ₂⁻
- DO ₂²⁻
Correct answer
A. O ₂²⁺
Step-by-step solution
Bond length 1 bond order Bond order = no..of bonding e - no.of antibonding e 2 Bond orders of O ₂⁺, O ₂⁻, O ₂⁻² and O ₂⁺² are respectively 2.5,1.5,1 and 3 .
