Triple Bonds Shorter than Double Bonds

[Venya Vaddi 1L]

Can someone explain why triple bonds are shorter than double bonds?

[ThomasLai1D]

The additional electrons involved in a triple bond exert greater attractive forces on the nuclei, thereby shortening the length of the bond.

[Searra Harding 4I]

In addition to the above answer, triple bonds are stronger than double bonds because they have a higher pull of electrons.

[Aili Ye 4L]

The positive nucleus exerts a force on the electrons involved in the triple bond, causing the bond to be stronger and the electrons to be closer to the nucleus, meaning a shorter bond.

[Madeera_Mian_3B]

I agree, and to add triple bonds are shorter than double bonds due to the pull from the nucleus. Double bonds have a longer bond length due to the large distance and have a weaker pull.
