Arrange the following compounds in increasing order according to the length of their carbon bond: Ethine, Ethyne, Ethane, A. Ethyne, Ethane, Ethane B. Ethane, Ethyne, Ethine C. Ethine, Ethyne, Ethane D. Ethane, Ethine, Ethyne

Ethyne, Ethane, Ethane
Ethane, Ethyne, Ethine
Ethine, Ethyne, Ethane
Ethane, Ethine, Ethyne

The correct answer is: C. Ethyne, Ethyne, Ethane.

The length of a carbon bond is inversely proportional to the bond order. The bond order of a carbon-carbon bond is the number of covalent bonds between the two carbon atoms. The bond order of a single bond is 1, the bond order of a double bond is 2, and the bond order of a triple bond is 3.

Ethyne (C2H2) has a triple bond between the two carbon atoms, while ethane (C2H6) has a single bond between the two carbon atoms. Therefore, the carbon-carbon bond in ethyne is shorter than the carbon-carbon bond in ethane.

The order of the compounds in increasing order according to the length of their carbon bond is:

  1. Ethyne
  2. Ethane

The other options are incorrect because they do not list the compounds in increasing order according to the length of their carbon bond.
