E)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the number of bonds between two carbon atoms increases, the distance between the atoms decreases, causing the bond length to decrease. The bond energy increases as the bond becomes stronger due to the increased number of bonds between the atoms. The number of electrons between the carbon atoms remains the same regardless of the number of bonds. Therefore, only the bond length decreases.
