Arrange O ₂, O ₂ [A s ~F ₆ ], KO ₂ in the increasing order of bond length of O - O bond.
Options
- AO ₂ < KO ₂ < O ₂ [ AsF ₆ ]
- BKO ₂ < O ₂ < O ₂ [ AsF ₆ ]
- CO ₂ [ AsF ₆ ] < KO ₂ < O ₂
- DO ₂ [ AsF ₆ ] < O ₂ < KO ₂
Correct answer
D. O ₂ [ AsF ₆ ] < O ₂ < KO ₂
Step-by-step solution
Bond length 1 Bond order In . K ₂ O ₂ ) or O ₂⁻ bond order is 1.5 . In O ₂ bond order is 2 . In O ₂ ( AsF ₆ ) or O ₂⁺ bond order is 2.5 . Hence, the correct order is O ₂ ( AsF ₆ ) < O ₂ < KO ₂ .
