Assertion : Bond order can assume any value number including zero.
Reason :Higher the bond order ,shorter is bond length and greater is bond energy.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer

b

Explanation

Bond order
`= (1)/(2) [({:("no of" e^(-) "in" ),("bonding" M.O.):})] -[({:("no of" e^(-) "in" ),("bonding" M O):})]`
Bond order zero indicates that the bond does not exist
