Answer: Increasing order of bond length is N_2<O_2<F_2<Cl_2

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Bond length is directly related to the size of an atom. In a group, the size of atom increases as we move down the group because additional shell get added around the nucleus and the outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus.

In a period, the size of atom decreases as we move from left to right because additional electron gets added to the nucleus and the attraction of nucleus to electrons increases. Hence, the size of atom contracts.

Fluorine is present in Group 17 and period 2.

Chlorine is present in Group 17 and Period 3.

Oxygen is present in Group 16 and Period 2.

Nitrogen is present in Group 15 and Period 2.

Hence, the increasing order of bond length is N_2<O_2<F_2<Cl_2
