Arrange single, double and triple bonds in decreasing order of their strengths.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
As the number of shared electrons increases, the bond strength increases.
In a triple bond, a total of 6 electrons are shared. In a double bond, 4 electrons are shared and in a single bond, only 2 electrons are shared. Thus, the bond strength is as follows:
Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond.
Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
As the number of shared electrons increases, the bond strength increases.
In a triple bond, a total of 6 electrons are shared. In a double bond, 4 electrons are shared and in a single bond, only 2 electrons are shared. Thus, the bond strength is as follows:
Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond.
