Question
100%
Please help!! This is about Bond Strengths and Lengths
Question # 15. Bond Strengths and Lengths.
Bond order depends on the number of electrons being shared in a covalent bond and is one way of comparing bond strengths. A single bond
has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of 2, a triple bond has a bond order of 3, and resonance between a single bond and
a double bond has a bond order between 1 and 2. The higher the bond order, the greater the bond strength and the shorter the length of
the bond.
On scratch paper, which you do not need to turn in, draw the structural formula for each species in the table below. Then refer to your
structural formulas to complete the table by telling whether or not each species has resonance and the bond order of the Si-O bonds in each
species. Then rank the species from 1 through 4 in increasing order of Si-O bond strength, for with 1 for the species with the lowest bond
strength and 4 for the species with the greatest bond strength.
