Answer to Problem 7STP
The
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: It is known that the bond length of bond decreases as the number of bonds between atoms increases. For example, single bond has longest bond length and triple bond has shortest bond length. The bond length also depends on the bond dissociation energies. The longest bond has lowest bond energy and the shortest bond has highest bond energy.
The given table is shown below.
The given diatomic gas is
Among the given diatomic gases,
Reason for incorrect option: The bond dissociation energy of
The bond dissociation energy of
The bond dissociation energy of
