Re: bond length
i am not sure, but the usual assumption is that the longer the bond, the weaker the bond.

Re: bond length
If it is possible, we have not learned it. However, it is easy to infer the relative strength of the bond through the length of the bond. Short bonds are stronger than long bonds.
Re: bond length
triple bonds are the shortest bonds, double bonds are slightly longer, and single bonds are the longest.

Re: bond length
As everyone has mentioned, there is probably a way to find the exact bond length (in angstroms) based on its strength or vice versa, but I believe that's beyond the scope of this course. I think the main thing we need to know is the relationship between bond length and strength – the longer the bond, the weaker it is and vice versa.

Re: bond length
I believe it is possible, but for now all we need to know is that double bonds are shorter and also stronger than single bonds
