Question

Strongest bond is
A) \[{\mathbf{C}} - {\mathbf{C}}\]
B) \[{\mathbf{C}} - {\mathbf{H}}\]
C) \[{\mathbf{CN}}\]
D) \[{\mathbf{CO}}\]

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we will understand the concept of strongest bonds. As their various types of bonds present. Some of the bonds are weaker, some are stronger. This bond formation depends upon the electrons and also on their environment.

Complete answer:
As we know that there are many types of bonds in which atoms bond to each other. Many bonds might be stronger or may be weaker depending upon their nature. The chemical bonds are molded in between the two atoms, and each atom has their own environment of electrons.

The two strong chemical bonds are covalent bonds and ionic bonds formed from the sharing of atoms between them. As when the two of the atoms share an electron with another atom almost equally so the bond formed will be known as covalent bond. And when an atom applies a certain force in between the electrons of the atoms, there will occur a bond from the struggle to give electrons over, the bond is called ionic bond.

To know which of the following is stronger we need to detect the bond energy to which we need to break the bond. The more the energy the stronger the bond. In given bonds, \[CN\]comprise carbon-nitrogen triple bond \[\left( {C \equiv N} \right)\] and \[CO\]has carbon-oxygen double bonds \[C = O\]. Respite of all contains a single bond. Meanwhile the strength of the triple bond is more than single and double bonds.

Hence, the strongest bond among the following is \[CN\].

Note: It is said that the most of the ionic bonds has more bond strength and more difficult to break as compared to the covalent bonds. Therefore, we can say that the bond dissociation energy will determine the strength of the bond.
