Answer 1

Answer on Question #43219 - Chemistry - Inorganic Chemistry

Question:

Enthalpy of bond S-O is stronger in SO3 or SO3^2-?

Answer:

Draw the structure of particles to determine the bond order.

Bond order = 6/3 = 2

Bond order = 4/3 = 1.333

The higher bond order in the same particles results in the higher bond energy. Therefore, the SO3 molecule has the larger bond strength.
