Question

Which of the following has smallest bond length?
a) O₂
b) N₂
c) Cl₂
d) HCI

Answer 1

Hii mate here is your answer
option b) is correct
N2 is small bond length because of three bond order. N2 has triple bond, more the bond order less the bond length
I hope it will help you

Answer 2

Dear Noni,

◆ Answer -

(d) HCl

◆ Explanation -

- As we all know, ionic bonds are stronger & shorter than covalent bonds.

- From the given options, only H-Cl is ionic bond all others are covalent bonds.

- Hence, H-Cl bond has smallest bond length with respect to other compounds.

* Among other options, descending order of bond length is -

Cl₂ > O₂ > N₂

Hope this helped. Thanks for asking..
