Question

What is the correct order of increasing C-O bond lengths of CO,CO3- 2 and CO2 ? (A) CO3- 2 < CO2 < CO (B) CO2 < CO3- 2 < CO (C) CO < CO3- 2 < CO2 (D) CO < CO2 < CO3- 2

CO3- 2>CO2>CO COCO2CO3- 2 Bond order 321.33 The least bond length shows the greatest bond strength. Higher the bond order, the smaller is the bond length.

Q. What is the correct order of increasing $C - O$ bond lengths of $CO, C O_{3}^{- 2}$ and $C O_{2}$ ?

$C O_{3}^{- 2} < C O_{2} < CO$

$C O_{2} < C O_{3}^{- 2} < CO$

$CO < C O_{3}^{- 2} < C O_{2}$

$CO < C O_{2} < C O_{3}^{- 2}$

$C O_{3}^{- 2} > C O_{2} > CO$
$COC O_{2} C O_{3}^{- 2}$
Bond order $321.33$
The least bond length shows the greatest bond strength.
Higher the bond order, the smaller is the bond length.

Q. What is the correct order of increasing C−O bond lengths of CO,CO3−2​ and CO2​ ?

CO3−2​<CO2​<CO

CO2​<CO3−2​<CO

CO<CO3−2​<CO2​

CO<CO2​<CO3−2​
