The correct order in which oxygen-oxygen bond dissociation energy increases is
Options
- AH 2 O 2 < O 2 < O 3
- BH 2 O 2 < O 3 < O 2
- CO 2 < O 3 < H 2 O 2
- DO 2 < H 2 O 2 < O 3
Correct answer
B. H 2 O 2 < O 3 < O 2
Step-by-step solution
H 2 O 2 has a peroxide bond with a bond order of 1 while in O 3 the bond order is 1.5 and in O 2 it is 2 . Hence, the bond dissociation energy order is H 2 O 2 < O 3 < O 2
