Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 86AE

The following observations are made about two hypothetical elements A and B: The A-A and B-B bond lengths in the elemental forms of A and B are 2.36 and 1.94 A, respectively. A and B react to form the binary compound AB₂, which has a linear structure (that is
LB - A - B = 180°). Based on these statements, predict the separation between the two B nuclei in a molecule of AB₂.
