Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 371
Question: The correct order in which the O - O bond length increases in the following is
Options:
A) $ H_2O_2<O_2<O_3 $
B) $ O_2<H_2O_2<O_3 $
C) $ O_2<O_3<H_2O_2 $
D) $ O_3<H_2O_2<O_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ H-O-O-H $ , $ O\rightarrow O=O $ , $ O=O $ Due to resonance in $ O_3 $
$ O-O $ bond length will be in b/w $ O=O $ and $ O-O $ .
