Understanding Bond Lengths and Hybridization

Which type of bond is generally longer, single or triple?

• Quadruple bond

• Single bond

• Triple bond

• Double bond

What type of hybrid orbitals are involved in the formation of a carbon-carbon single bond in ethane?

• sp hybrid orbitals

• sp2 hybrid orbitals

• sp3 hybrid orbitals

• p orbitals

How much s character is present in an sp3 hybrid orbital?

• 75%

• 25%

• 50%

• 100%

Why is a triple bond shorter than a single bond?

• It has less s character

• It has more p character

• It has less p character

• It has more s character

When comparing elements in the same row, what factor is crucial for determining bond length?

• Electronegativity

• P character

• S character

• Atomic number

Which bond is formed from the overlap of an sp3 hybrid orbital and an sp2 hybrid orbital?

• Bond number one

• Bond number two

• Bond number four

• Bond number three

Which bond is the longest among the given options?

• Bond number three

• Bond number five

• Bond number two

• Bond number one

What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in acetylene?

• p

• sp

• sp2

• sp3

Which bond is the shortest among the given options?

• Bond number two

• Bond number three

• Bond number one

• Bond number four

What is the relationship between s character and bond strength?

• More s character, stronger bond

• Less s character, stronger bond

• More s character, weaker bond

• S character does not affect bond strength
