Question 9
Brief Explanations

Elements in Group 17 (halogens, like F, Cl, Br, I) and Group 1 (alkali metals, but in covalent compounds, H is key here) – specifically, hydrogen (H) and halogens (Group 17) usually form single bonds. Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, needs 1 more to fill its shell (duet rule). Halogens have 7 valence electrons, need 1 more to fill their octet. So they can only form one bond (share one electron pair) to achieve stability.

Brief Explanations

Triple bonds have the most shared electron pairs (3 pairs), so the nuclei of bonded atoms are pulled closer together, making the bond length shortest.

Brief Explanations

Single bonds have only 1 pair of shared electrons, so the attraction between nuclei is the weakest, leading to the longest bond length.

Answer:

Group 1 (Hydrogen) and Group 17 (Halogens, e.g., F, Cl, Br, I) cannot form more than one bond (single bond) in covalent compounds. Because H needs 1 electron to complete its duet, and halogens need 1 electron to complete their octet, so they only share one pair of electrons (form one bond).
