a)

quadruple covalent bond


b)

triple covalent bond


c)

double covalent bond


d)

single covalent bond

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)  quadruple covalent bond

Explanation:

Quadruple covalent bonds are the strongest covalent bonds. The more the number of bonding pairs, the stronger the bond becomes.

  • A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two species.
  • They are usually between compound with similar electronegativities.
  • The number of bonds between the atom determines the bond strength.

Single < double < triple < quadruple covalent bonds.
