As the bond order of a bond increases,the bond energy ______ and the bond length ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bond order is directly proportional to bond energy and inversely proportional to bond length. As the bond order increases, with more electron density between two atoms, bond energy increases. At the same time, the bond length decreases because of the increased attraction between the nuclei and the shared electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is C).

As the Bond Order of a Bond Increases,the Bond Energy
