Chemistry · CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
हिन्दीThe bond length of an \( \text{O}-\text{O} \) single bond is \( 148\text{ pm} \) and that of an \( \text{O}=\text{O} \) double bond is \( 121\text{ pm} \). If the observed bond length in ozone (\( \text{O}_3 \)) is \( 128\text{ pm} \), what is the difference between the observed bond length and the arithmetic mean of the single and double bond lengths?
Correct answer · Option 3
\( 6.5\text{ pm} \)
Explanation
Arithmetic mean = \( \frac{148 + 121}{2} = 134.5\text{ pm} \). Difference = \( |128 - 134.5| = 6.5\text{ pm} \).
