JEE Main2002ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Which of the following are arranged in an increasing order of their bond strengths ?
Options
- AO ₂⁻ < O ₂ < O ₂⁺ < O ₂²⁻
- BO ₂²⁻ < O ₂⁻ < O ₂ < O ₂⁺
- CO ₂⁻ < O ₂²⁻ < O ₂ < O ₂⁺
- DO ₂⁺ < O ₂ < O ₂⁻ < O ₂²⁻
Correct answer
B. O ₂²⁻ < O ₂⁻ < O ₂ < O ₂⁺
Step-by-step solution
According to bond order values the given order is the answer. Bond order values are +1,+1 1 2 ,+2 and +2 1 2 , higher bond order means stronger bond.
