Which of the following has maximum bond energy?
C=C
C=O
O=O
N=O
B.
C=O
Higher is the bond length, lower will be its bond energy. Bond length depends upon the number of the lone pairs of electrons present on the bonded atoms. Greater the number of lone pairs of electrons present on the bonded atoms, greater is the repulsion between the atoms and hence less is the bond energy.
Since, bond energy of C=O is 745 kJ mol-1 and of N=O is 607 kJ mol-1.
Therefore, C=O has maximum bond energy.
The number of lone pair(s) of electrons on the central atom is [BrF4]-, XeF6 and [SbCl6]3- are, respectively
2, 1 and 1
2, 1 and 0
2, 0 and 1
1, 0 and 0
The lewis acidity of BF3 is less than BCl3 even though fluorine is more electrongative than chlorine. It is due to
stronger 1p (B)-3p(Cl) σ- bonding
stronger 2p(B) - 3p(Cl) π-bonding
stonger 2p(B) - 2p(F) σ- bonding
stronger 2p(B)- 2p(F) π-bonding

octahedral
trigonal bipyramidal
square planar
square pyramidal
