Formic acid (HCOOH; structural formula shown below) is secreted by certain species of ants when they bite.
Rank the relative strengths of the H-C and O-H bonds. Explain these rankings.
We need to compare the strength of a single bond between C and H and C and O. The oxygen atom is smaller than the hydrogen atom. With the increase of the atom radius, the bond length increases as well. Since the nucleus less strongly attracts the bonding electrons as the bond length increases, the C
