alleryBond length is the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two:
ABlended atoms
BBonded atoms
CBounded atoms
DBalanced atoms
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Bonded atoms
1. Bond length is measured nucleus to nucleus.
2. The two nuclei concerned are those joined by the bond.
3. Bond length is the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.
4. So the answer is bonded atoms.
