NEET Chemistry QUESTION #1071
Question 1
Statement I: A hypothetical diatomic molecule with bond order zero is quite stable. Statement II: As bond order increases, the bond length increases.
  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Statement I is false — a bond order of zero means no net bonding, so the molecule is NOT stable (e.g., He\(_2\) does not exist). Statement II is false — as bond order increases, bond length DECREASES (stronger, shorter bonds). Both statements are false.
