Question

Like several other bonds, carbon-oxygen bonds have lengths and strengths that depend on the bond order. Draw Lewis structures for the following species, and arrange them in order of increasing carbon-oxygen bond length and then by increasing carbon-oxygen bond strength:
(d) CH₄O;

Answer 1

The order of increasing C-OC−O bond length is:

                 a < c < b < e < d

                  a < c < b < e < d

Therefore, the order of increasing bond strength is:

       d < e < b < c < a

        d<  e < b < c  < a

What is bond length?

The distance between the centers of two atoms that are covalently connected is known as the bond length. The number of bound electrons determines the bond's length (the bond order). The greater the attraction between the two atoms and the shorter the bond length are, the higher the bond order.

The average distance between the nuclei of two bound atoms in a molecule is referred to as bond length or bond distance in molecular geometry. It is a transferrable characteristic of a bond between atoms of fixed kinds that is comparatively independent from the other components of the molecule.

Bond length and bond order are related; the shorter the bond is when more electrons are involved in its production.
