Rank the following covalent bonds in order of increasing bond strength:
(a)
The increasing order of bond strength of the given covalent bonds.
Answer to Problem 2TC
The increasing bond strength of the covalent bonds are
Explanation of Solution
The covalent bond is a type of bond made between two atoms that has no electronegativity difference or less electronegativity difference. The atoms mutually share their valance electrons to make a covalent bond.In a covalent bond, the orbitals of an atom overlap to form a bond between the atoms.
If only one orbital overlaps sharing only one-one electron from each atom, a single covalent bond is formed.
If two orbitals overlap sharing two-two electrons from each atom, a double bond is formed.
If three orbitals overlap sharing three-three electrons from each atom, a triple bond is formed.
As the number of overlapping increases, bond strength increases.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the increasing bond strength of the covalent bonds are
