Chapter 1, Problem 83P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The reason for difference in bond lengths of the bond [1] and bond [2] is to be stated.

Concept introduction: With an increase in the s character, bond strength increases and ultimately bond length decreases. This is because the electrons are held more tightly and closer to the nucleus by the hybrid orbitals.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The reason for equal bond length of bonds [3] and [4] and shorter bond length than bond [2] is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Resonance plays a significant role in stabililizing the molecule and it is responsible for properties exhibited by the molecule.
