STANDARD Chemistry Molecular Orbital Theory MCQ Question
Which of the following relationships is true?
Bond dissociation energy of O₂ and O₂⁻ are same.
Bond dissociation energy of O₂⁺ is higher than O₂.
Bond dissociation energy of O₂⁻ and O₂²⁻ are same.
Bond dissociation energy of O₂²⁻ is higher than O₂⁻.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bond order of O₂⁺ is higher than that of O₂, indicating a stronger bond and thus a higher bond dissociation energy.
