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.
