Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon-selenium bond length in ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}\text{C}-\text{Se}-{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be estimated.

Concept introduction:

In a molecule, the average distance between two bonded atoms is commonly known as bond length. It determines the strength of covalent bond in a molecule and is found to be inversely proportional to the bond order.
