STANDARD Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question
Which of the following formulae does not show the correct relationship?
B.O. = 1/2 (Nb - Na)
B.O. ∝ 1/Bond length
B.O. ∝ 1/Bond dissociation energy
Nb > Na, B.O. = +ve
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bond order is directly proportional to bond dissociation energy, not inversely. Therefore, option C does not show the correct relationship.
