JEE Main Chemistry question

The bond strength increases:

(A)With increasing bond order
(B)With increasing extent of overlapping of orbitals
(C)With decreasing difference between energies of the overlapping orbitals
(D)All of the aboveCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Bond strength is enhanced by a higher bond order (more shared electron pairs), by greater orbital overlap (stronger constructive interference between the combining orbitals), and by a smaller
