**Title: Understanding Bond Length and Strength**

**Objective:**

Rank the highlighted bonds in the given molecular structure in order of increasing length and increasing strength.

**Description:**

The molecular diagram shows a structure with three bonds labeled as:

- (a) Bond between Bromine (Br) and Carbon
- (b) Bond between Fluorine (F) and Carbon
- (c) Bond between Chlorine (Cl) and Carbon

**Tasks:**

1. **Rank the Bonds by Length:**
   - Determine which bond is the shortest and which is the longest by selecting from the drop-down options labeled (a), (b), and (c).
   - Arrange the bonds in order of increasing length using the format:
     - Shortest < Middle < Longest

2. **Rank the Bonds by Strength:**
   - Identify which bond is the weakest and which one is the strongest.
   - Arrange the bonds in order of increasing strength using the format:
     - Weakest < Medium Strength < Strongest

**Interactive Components:**

- Drop-down menus next to "Length" and "Strength" for users to select the appropriate bond designations for shortest to longest, and weakest to strongest.

**Instructions:**

- Use the periodic table and principles of bond length/strength for accurate ranking. Generally, bond strength is inversely related to bond length for bonds involving similar atoms.

**Educational Activity: Bond Length and Strength Analysis**

---

**Objective:**

Rank the highlighted bonds in order of increasing length and in order of increasing strength.

---

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram presents a hydrocarbon chain with three bonds marked as (a), (b), and (c). Each bond is highlighted in red within the chain structure:

- **(a)** is a triple bond between the second and third carbon atoms.
- **(b)** is a single bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms.
- **(c)** is a triple bond between the fifth and sixth carbon atoms.

---

**Ranking Task:**

**Length:**

- **Shortest to Longest:**
  Select the correct order of bonds from the dropdown menus provided.

**Strength:**

- **Weakest to Strongest:**
  Select the correct order of bonds from the dropdown menus provided.

Buttons for submission and resetting selections are available at the bottom of the task interface.

---

**Instructions:**

Use the properties of bond length and strength to determine the correct ranking. Generally, triple bonds are shorter and stronger than single bonds, while single bonds are longer and weaker.
