What is the relationship between strong acids, bond length and electronegativity?

increasing electronegativity makes the molecule more acidic

Strong acids are completely ionized in water, so strong acids have large dipole moments that make them more polar so that the corresponding partial negative and partial positive charges are separated by the water molecule. An increase in electronegativity makes for a greater dipole moment. And according to the equation for dipole moment (u = q x d) in which d stands for distance, increasing bond length would increase the polarity, but only in consideration of the electronegativity of the atoms.
