4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
medium
The correct order of the $O-O$ bond length in $O_2$ , $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ is
A
$O_2 > O_3 > H_2O_2$
B
$O_3 > H_2O_2 > O_2$
C
$O_2 > H_2O_2 > O_3$
D
$H_2O_2 > O_3 > O_2$
Solution
The correct order of $O – O$ bond length in $O _2, H _2 O _2$ and $O _3$ is $H _2 O _2\,>\, O _3\,>\, O _2$
The increasing bond order is $H _2 O _2\,(1)\,<\, O _3\,(1.5)\,<\, O _2\,(2)$.
Higher is the bond order, lower is the bond length.
