As the number of bonds between two carbon atoms increases,which one of the following decreases?
A)number of electrons between the carbon atoms
B)bond energy
C)bond length
D)all of these
E)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the number of bonds between two carbon atoms increases, the carbon atoms are held closer together, resulting in a shorter bond length. The number of electrons between the carbon atoms and bond energy would generally increase as the number of bonds between the carbon atoms increases. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect, and option D is incorrect because it includes all three options. Option E is also incorrect as the bond length should decrease.
