Question

Rank the following molecules or ions in order of decreasing bond length using their bond order to predict relative lengths:

fluorine: F2, oxygen: O2, nitrogen: N2

 

is it N2>O2>F2

Answer 1

I think you have it correct but with the wrong notation. I think you want it to be  N2 < O2 < F2  The shortest bond length would be N2 and the longest would be F2.  N2 has a triple bond, O2 a double bond, and F2 a single bond.
