Correct answer
A
Step-by-step explanation
The covalent bond length of the AB molecule is the internuclear distance between atom A and atom B.
Bond length =
The total length of the AB molecule is the distance between the outermost boundaries of the two atoms along the internuclear axis.
Total length = Radius of A + Bond length + Radius of B
Total length =
Answer:
Bond length =
The total length of the AB molecule is the distance between the outermost boundaries of the two atoms along the internuclear axis.
Total length = Radius of A + Bond length + Radius of B
Total length =
