What is meant by the term bond order ? Calculate the bond order of N o oand O40 |
|
Answer» Bond orderis the number of chemicalbondsbetween a pair of atoms.Forexample, in diatomic nitrogen N≡N the bond order is 3for O2 O=O bond order is 2 The central atom is sp² hybridized with one lone pair. Ozone is a polar molecule with a dipole moment of 0.53 D. The bonding can be expressed as a resonance hybrid with a single bond on one side and double bond on the other producing an overall bond order of1.5for each side. |
