### Chemistry Quiz
#### Question 10.10

**Which of the following compounds has the longest carbon-carbon bond?**

**Options:**
- \( \circ \) \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 \)
- \( \circ \) \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \)
- \( \circ \) \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 \)
- \( \circ \) All of these have the C-C bonds with the same length.

---

This question assesses your understanding of chemical bond lengths between carbon atoms in different organic compounds. The options provided include three common hydrocarbons:

1. **Acetylene (\( \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 \))**: This molecule contains a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
2. **Ethane (\( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \))**: This molecule contains a single bond between two carbon atoms.
3. **Ethene (\( \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 \))**: This molecule contains a double bond between two carbon atoms.

### Key Points to Remember:
- **Triple bonds** are shorter and stronger.
- **Double bonds** are shorter than single bonds but longer than triple bonds.
- **Single bonds** are the longest of the three types.

By understanding these concepts, you can correctly identify which compound has the longest carbon-carbon bond.
