Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following molecules is the bond length the shortest?
  • Step 1: Understand that bond length refers to the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
  • Step 2: Recognize that different types of bonds (single, double, triple) have different lengths.
  • Step 3: Know that triple bonds are shorter than double bonds, which are shorter than single bonds.
  • Step 4: Identify the molecule C2, which has a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Step 5: Compare C2 with other molecules that may have single or double bonds.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since C2 has a triple bond, it has the shortest bond length among the options.
