Question

What is the Xe- O bond order is perxenate ion $\left(Xe{O}_6^{4-}\right)$?

• A. 1.333
• B. 1.33
• C. 1.3

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Total no. of resonatic structure

$\text{Bond order}=\frac{\text{No. of bonds involved in resonance}}{\text{Total no. of resonating structure}}$

$\text{Bond order}=\frac{8}{6}=1.33$
