The correct order of Cl-O bond lengths in `ClO^- , ClO_2^- , ClO_3^-` and `ClO_4^-` is

A

`ClO^- lt ClO_2^- lt ClO_3^- lt ClO_4^-`

B

`ClO_4^- lt ClO_3^- lt ClO_2^- lt ClO^-`

C

`ClO_3^- lt ClO_4^- lt ClO_2^- lt ClO^-`

D

`ClO_4^- = ClO_3^- = ClO_2^- = ClO^-`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order. Greater the delocalization of t-electrons (-ve charge) shorter is the bond length.
