Question

which set of atoms has the shortest bond length? n≡n n=n n−n

Explanation:

Step1: Understand bond order and bond length relationship

Bond length is inversely related to bond order. Higher bond order means shorter bond length.

Step2: Determine bond order for each

• For \(N\equiv N\), bond order is \(3\).
• For \(N = N\), bond order is \(2\).
• For \(N - N\), bond order is \(1\).

Answer:

\(N\equiv N\) has the shortest bond length.
