Answer:
See below ~
Explanation:
<u>A to B</u>
⇒ Solid Phase
==========================================================
<u>B to C</u>
⇒ Melting
==========================================================
<u>C to D</u>
⇒ Liquid Phase
==========================================================
<u>D to E</u>
⇒ Vaporizing
============================================================
<u>E to F and beyond</u>
⇒ Gas Phase
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??
