Question

Bond length can be calculated by merely adding covalent bond radii which are H = 0.28 ˚A, N = 0.70 ˚A, O = 0.66 ˚A, Cl = 0.99 ˚A, (C=)=0.67˚A, (C)=0.61 ˚A, (N)= 0.55 ˚A and (C)=0.77Ao.

Calculate bond lengths in HCN.

Solution

The correct option is B HC1.05˚A;CN1.16˚A
Bond length can be calculated by merely adding covalent bond radii.
The CH bond length is 0.77+0.28=1.05A0
The CN bond length is 0.55+0.61=1.16A0
