Question

What is the bond length of a carbon-carbon double bond?
Options
A 1.20 Å
B 1.34 Å
Correct Answer
C 1.54 Å
D 1.68 Å
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A C=C double bond has a bond length of approximately 1.34 Å. This is shorter than a C-C single bond (1.54 Å) but longer than a C≡C triple bond (1.20 Å).

Hint

Consider the relative lengths of single, double, and triple bonds.
