Identify the shortest bond among the following:
Correct answer: D. O - O
- A. C - C
- B. N - N
- C. P - P
- D. O - O
Explanation
In the periodic table, shortening of bond lengths occurs from left to right in, a period.Therefore as oxygen is on the left most side of the periodic table of the given options therfore it has shortest bond length.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
