Among fluroine-fluorine bond andchlorie-chlorine bond, which is more stronger and why? |
| Answer» Solution :In C-Cl bond, a filled p-orbital of chlorine can overlap with a SUITABLE vacant d-orbital of adjacent chlorine THEREBY introducing some double bond CHARACTER. Thus the bond strength INCREASES. This is not POSSIBLE in fluorine as it has got no vacant d-orbital. | |
