Question

Rank the following bonds in order of decreasing bond length, based on periodic trends, starting with the longest bond at the top of the list.H-S H-I H-Se H-BI. H-I II. H-SeIII. H-BrIV. H-S

Answer 1

Answer:

H-BI,H-Se,H-S,H-I,H-Br

Explanation:

One thing that must be kept in mind is that atomic size increases down the group and decreases across the period. The bond lengths of species are influenced by the relative sizes of atoms or ions present in the bond.

The bonds in the answer have been arranged on basis of their decreasing atomic size because the greater the atomic size of the atoms, the greater the bond length and vice versa.
