The b.o in Cl-O- is 1 The b.o in O = Cl - O- is 1.5 <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/e03a619dffe2615169cc4baa57910280-.png" /> The bond length increases as b.o decreases

Q. Which of the following represents the correct order of $Cl$ - $O$ bond lengths in $Cl O^{-}, Cl O_{2}^{-}, Cl O_{3}^{-}, Cl O_{4}^{-} ?$

$Cl O_{4}^{-} = Cl O_{3}^{-} = Cl O_{2}^{-} = Cl O^{-}$

$Cl O^{-} < Cl O_{2}^{-} < Cl O_{3}^{-} < Cl O_{4}^{-}$

$Cl O_{4}^{-} < Cl O_{3}^{-} < Cl O_{2}^{-} < Cl O^{-}$

$Cl O_{3}^{-} < Cl O_{4}^{-} < Cl O_{2}^{-} < Cl O^{-}$

The b.o in $Cl - O^{-}$ is $1$
The b.o in $O = Cl - O^{-}$ is $1.5$

The bond length increases as b.o decreases

Q. Which of the following represents the correct order of Cl - O bond lengths in ClO−,ClO2−​,ClO3−​,ClO4−​?

ClO4−​=ClO3−​=ClO2−​=ClO−

ClO−<ClO2−​<ClO3−​<ClO4−​

ClO4−​<ClO3−​<ClO2−​<ClO−

ClO3−​<ClO4−​<ClO2−​<ClO−
