Which of the following hydrocarbon has the shortesd bond lengths
Accepted Answer
To determine the shortest bond lengths, we need to consider the hybridization of the carbon atoms. The more s-character in the hybrid orbital, the shorter the bond length. Therefore, a triple bond (sp hybridization) will have the shortest bond length, followed by a double bond (sp2 hybridization), and then a single bond (sp3 hybridization).
