Chemical BondingMost Important Inorganic Trends

Bond Length: N−N<O−O<F−FN-N < O-O < F-F (Usually H-H shortest, but among these: O-O < N-N < F-F is wrong. N-N 1.45, O-O 1.48, F-F 1.42. F-F is usually shortest of these 3 single bonds). Correct: F−F<N−N<O−OF-F < N-N < O-O

Expert Answer

Correct order based on data: F-F(142) < N-N(145) < O-O(148 pm).
