Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the following carbon-nitrogen bonds, shorter and strongest bond needs to be identified.
and
Concept introduction:
The strength of a covalent bond depends on the distance between the bonded nuclei. Bond length is the distance between the maximum attractions of

Answer to Problem 86A
Triple bond inis the strongest and shortest bond than C-N bond of
Explanation of Solution
Bond strength and bond length are related to each other. If bond length is shorter, then the bond is stronger. contain one triple bind whereas
contains 6 triple bonds. With increase in the number of shared electron pair, the bond length decreases. In triple bond, two atoms share three electrons pair. Hence, triple bond of
is the strongest and shortest bond.
In double bond, two atoms share two electrons pair while in single bond one electrons pair is shared.
