Bond lengths
Are we given information to determine how far these bonds i.e single, double, triple; are or do we just have to know in order how far they are like concept wise?

Re: Bond lengths
I think we should just know that single bonds are typically longer and weaker, while double and triple bonds become shorter and stronger.
Re: Bond lengths
I believe that we should know that as bond strength increases, bond length decreases.

Re: Bond lengths
I think we need to know it concept-wise, like which are stronger and shorter and which are longer and weaker.

Re: Bond lengths
Because each element has different bond lengths depending on what it is being bonded with, we would probably be given the bond lengths in a question

Re: Bond lengths
It did say in the textbook that a single bond would not be three times longer than a triple bond or a single bond would not be two times longer than a single bond.

Re: Bond lengths
also don't bond lengths depend on the atoms, ie a bond between two very electronegative atoms would be shorter? also has to do with atomic radius
Re: Bond lengths
I think the bond lengths do vary slightly depending on the atoms, based on their electron affinity.
