which of the following has the shortest bond length : (a)Br2   (b)F2  (c)Cl2  (d) I2

The solution is as follows:

1. The shortest bond length is of F2.

2. This is because, it is formed by 2p-2p overlap, which are very close to each other and small in size.

  • -5
F2 wil have shortest bond length due to smaller size and strong E.N
  • 0
