How would you expect the bond strength to change in the series C_(2) to C_(2)^(-) to C_(2)^(2-)? |

Answer» GETS stronger than weaker `B.O=(4-0)/(2)=2` `C_(2)^(-)rarr(sigma_(1s))^(2)(sigma_(1s)^(**))^(2)(sigma_(2s))^(2)(sigma_(2s)^(**))^(2)(pi_(2p_(x)))^(2)(pi_(2p_(y)))^(2)(sigma_(2p_(z)))^(1)` `B.O=(5-0)/(2)=2.5` `C_(2)^(2-)rarr(sigma_(1s))^(2)(sigma_(1s)^(**))^(2)(sigma_(2s))^(2)(sigma_(2s)^(**))^(2)(pi_(2p_(x)))^(2)(pi_(2p_(y)))^(2)(sigma_(2p_(z)))^(2)` `B.O=(6-0)/(2)=3` As BOND order is increasing it implies bond strength is increasing. |
