True if im wrong u can take away my points
Longer, this is because the H in HNO2 is bonded with an oxygen, no longer allowing this structure to have a resonance structure.
NO2 on the other hand has one double bond and one single bond, so it has a resonance structure. And resonance structures are actually one structure so there isn't really a single and double bond, it's actually a 1 and 1/2 bond that calls for a higher bond order.
And I higher bond order will result in a shorter lengths!
I hope this helps out!!! And just out of curiosity, is this off of an AP FRQ packet??
Answer :
The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
The order of reaction is, second order reaction.
Explanation :
The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

Unit of rate constant Order of reaction
0
1
2
As the unit of rate constant is
. So, the order of reaction is second order.
The expression used for second order kinetics is:
![kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=kt%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA_t%5D%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D)
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time = ?
= final concentration = 0.97 M
= initial concentration = 2.48 M
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:


Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.
Explanation:
Since there is loss of kinetic energy
