हिन्दीIn carbon dioxide (\( \text{CO}_2 \)), the experimental \( \text{C}-\text{O} \) bond length is \( 115\text{ pm} \). If the normal \( \text{C}=\text{O} \) double bond length is \( 121\text{ pm} \) and the \( \text{C}\equiv\text{O} \) triple bond length is \( 110\text{ pm} \), what is the difference between the experimental bond length and the arithmetic mean of these two values?
Correct answer · Option 2
\( 0.5\text{ pm} \)
Explanation
Mean = \( \frac{121 + 110}{2} = 115.5\text{ pm} \). The difference from the experimental \( 115\text{ pm} \) is \( |115 - 115.5| = 0.5\text{ pm} \).
