Concept Used:
Bond strength is related to the number of bonds between two atoms, which is expressed by the bond order.
Explanation:
Bond order is defined as:
Bond order = (Number of bonding electrons − Number of antibonding electrons) / 2
As the bond order increases, the bond becomes stronger and more stable.
Thus:
• Higher bond order → greater bond strength
• Lower bond order → weaker bond strength
Final Answer:
Bond strength is directly proportional to bond order; a higher bond order indicates a stronger chemical bond.
\(O - O\) bond length in \(H _2 O _2\) is X than the \(O - O\) bond length in \(F _2 O _2\)The \(O - H\) bond length in \(H _2 O _2\)is Y than that of the\(O - F\) bond in \(F _2 O _2\)Choose the correct option for \(\underline{X} and \underline{Y}\) from those given below :
