Question
How do you express the bond length is terms of bond order?
Solution
In a molecule as we increase the number of electrons shared between two atoms, there will be an increase in bond order, also there will be an increase in the strength of the bond, and decrease the distance between nuclei. For example,
|
Bond |
No. of electron |
Bond order |
Bond strength |
