Chapter 1, Problem 1.73P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To arrange the bonds in the order of increasing bond length

Concept introduction:

Bond length or bond distance or inter nuclear distance. The atoms in the molecule are always vibrating with respect to each other and hence it is not possible to determine the distance between the nuclei of the atoms. This distance is called the bond length, is the average distance between the nuclei of the two bonded atoms together by the covalent bond. Bond length is related to bond order, when more electrons participate in the bond formation the bond is shorter. Bond length is also inversely to the bond strength.
