MCQ
The interatomic distances in ${H_2}$ and $C{l_2}$ molecules are $74$ and $198$ $pm$ respectively. The bond length of $HCl$ is ............. $\mathrm{pm}$
  • A
    $272$ 
  • $136$ 
  • C
    $124$ 
  • D
    $248$ 

Answer

Correct option: B.
$136$ 
(b) Middle length of ${H_2} = 74\,pm$

Length of $H = \frac{{74}}{2} = 37pm$

Middle length of $C{l_2} = 198\,pm           $

Length of $Cl$$ = \frac{{198}}{2} = 99\,pm$

Bond length of $HCl$ = Length of $H +$ Length of $Cl = 37 + 99 = 136 \,pm$
