Bond Length and Bond Order
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Bond length shortens as bond order rises from single to double to triple between the same two elements.
Show
A carbon-carbon triple bond measures shorter than a carbon-carbon double bond, which measures shorter than a single bond.
Watch for
Bond order predicts length reliably only between the same element pair; comparing across different pairs mixes in other factors.
