Is the bond length shorter for elements that have more bonds in between them. Like would N2 have a shorter bond length than O2Would N2 have a shorter bond length than O2Because N2 has a triple bond?

Respuesta :

Covalent bonding

Covalent Bond

-----

Bonds order is the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms and indicates the stability of a bond. Bond order and bond length indicate the type and strength of covalent bonds.

Bond order and length are inversely proportional to each other: when bond order is increased, the bond length is decreased.

O2: O=O

N2: N≡N

N2 has a shorter length than O2
