Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following pairs of atoms will form a bond with the highest bond order?
  • Step 1: Understand what bond order means. Bond order is the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms.
  • Step 2: Recall that a single bond has a bond order of 1, a double bond has a bond order of 2, and a triple bond has a bond order of 3.
  • Step 3: Identify the pairs of atoms given in the question. We need to compare their bond orders.
  • Step 4: Look at the specific pair of atoms C (carbon) and N (nitrogen).
  • Step 5: Know that carbon and nitrogen can form a triple bond in the molecule CN (cyanide).
  • Step 6: Since a triple bond has a bond order of 3, this means C and N have the highest bond order compared to other pairs.
