Given below are two statements: [2025]
Statement I: A hypothetical diatomic molecule with bond order zero is quite stable.
Statement II: As bond order increases, the bond length increases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(4)
Diatomic molecule with bond order zero does not exist. With increase in bond order, bond length decreases. Thus both statement-I and statement-II are false.
