Question

As bond number increases (double bonds rather than single, triple rather than double etc.), bond length and bond energy . Group of answer choices Decreases, increases Decreases, decreases Increase, increases Increase, decreases

Answer 1

Answer:

Decreases, increases

Explanation:

Depending on the number of electrons shared, covalent bonds may be single, double or triple. In  a single bond, two electrons are shared between bonding atoms. In a double bond, four electrons are shared between bonding atoms while in a tripe bond, six electrons are shared between bonding atoms.

The number of bonds is otherwise referred to as the bond order. The higher the bond order the higher the bond energy and the shorter the bond length. The bond length shortens due to an increase in the s character of the bond.
