Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 428
Question: Arrange the following ions in the order of decreasing $ ~X-O $ bond length, where X is the central atom
Options:
A) $ ClO_4^{-},SO_4^{2-},PO_4^{3-},SiO_4^{-} $
B) $ SiO_4^{4-},PO_4^{3-},SO_4^{2-},ClO_4^{-} $
C) $ SiO_4^{4-},PO_4^{3-},ClO_4^{-},SO_4^{2-} $
D) $ SiO_4^{4-},SO_4^{2-},PO_4^{3-},ClO_4^{-} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- More will be the electronegativity of X, lesser will be the bond length of $ X-O $ bond.
