Answer:
The molecule having shortest C-C bond is acetylene (CHCH)
Explanation:
Note : CH3CH2OH has longest bond length
The bond length order from longer to shorter is :
CH3CH2OH > CH3CH3 > CH2CH2 > CHCH
(More bond order shorter the bond length)
The C-C bond length in Ethanol[tex]CH_{3}CH_{2}OH[/tex] is more than ethane
- Here there is single bond between the carbons
- [tex]sp^{3}-sp^{3}[/tex] overlap
- It has lowest Bond-dissociation energy (88 Kcal/mole)
The C-C bond length in Ethane [tex]CH_{3}CH_{3}[/tex] is 1.54 Angstrom
- Here there is single bond between the carbons
- [tex]sp^{3}-sp^{3}[/tex] overlap
- It has low Bond-dissociation energy (90 kcal/mole : means bonds are long and broken easily but 2 kcal/mole stronger than ethane)
- Bonds are shorter than ethanol.
The C-C bond length in Ethene [tex]CH_{2}CH_{2}[/tex] is 1.34 Angstrom
- Here there is double-bond between the carbons
- The C-C bond distance is shorter than ethane
- [tex]sp^{2}-sp^{2}[/tex] overlap
- It has high Bond-dissociation energy than ethane (bonds are stronger than ethane)
The C-C bond length in acetylene
[tex]CH_{2}CH_{2}[/tex] is 1.20 Angstrom
- Here there is triple-bond between the carbons
- [tex]sp-sp[/tex] overlap
- The C-C bond distance is shortest of all
- It has maximum Bond-dissociation energy.Strongest and shortest bond
