Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding bond order?

  • Bond order can be fractional, indicating resonance.
  • Bond order is directly proportional to bond energy.
  • A higher bond order indicates a stronger bond.
  • Bond order is always an integer value. (correct)

Which of the following factors does NOT directly influence bond energy?

  • The bond order between the atoms.
  • The number of lone pairs on the central atom. (correct)
  • Electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.
  • The number of electron shells in the bonded atoms.

How does an increase in bond order generally affect the bond length?

  • It can either increase or decrease bond length, depending on other factors.
  • It leads to an increase in bond length.
  • It leads to a decrease in bond length. (correct)
