The bond length between double-bonded carbon atom is:
Correct answer: A. 1.34A°
- A. 1.34A°
- B. 1.10A°
- C. 1.54A°
- D. 1.82A°
Explanation
The bond length between double-bonded carbon atoms is 1.34A°, which reflects the nature of double bonds being shorter due to increased electron density between the bonded atoms. In contrast, the other options represent lengths that are not characteristic of double bonds: 1.10A° is too short and would suggest a triple bond; 1.54A° is more aligned with a single bond; and 1.82A° is even longer, indicating a weaker single bond. Therefore, 1.34A° is the only correct answer for the bond length of double-bonded carbon.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
