First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

Which one of the following Acids is most likely to hurt you? Acid A: 1.0 M; Acid B: 0.0001M
vaieri [72.5K]
Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.
