Re: bond lengths
The more electrons that interact with the bond, the stronger the attraction of the electrons to the nucleus, meaning that the 2 nuclei get pulled closer together and are shorter.

Re: bond lengths
Double and Triple bonds have more electrons, so they exert a stronger attractive force on the nuclei of the other atom, thus pulling the two atoms close together and reducing the bond length.

Re: bond lengths
The more Bonds means a stronger pull so consequently you also get a smaller length because of the increased attraction.

So the smaller the bond, the stronger it is?

Re: bond lengths
Bond dissociation is the energy required to break a chemical bond. For example, to break an H--H bond, the bond dissociation energy is 436D.

Re: bond lengths
Obviously, they do not have the same length. Single bond has the longest bond length, and triple bond has the shortest bond length. This also has something to do with bond strength.

A stronger bond will typically be shorter and have a larger dissociation energy because there are more electrons acting in the bond, making the attraction stronger.

Re: bond lengths
single bonds are the longest. then double bonds are shorter. triple bonds are shortest. additionally, the shorter the bond the stronger it is.

Re: bond lengths
The bond length is determined by how many bonded electrons there are. The more electrons are bonded (i.e. a triple bond in which 6 electrons are bonded), the shorter the bond length. That means that a triple bond has the shortest length (and has the most attraction/energy bringing the two atoms together), double bonds have the second shortest length, and single bonds have the longest lengths.
