Question
Using data from the Table, answer the following:
| Examples | C2H6 Ethane | C2H4 Ethene | C2H2 Ethyne |
| Structure |
\[\begin{array}{cc} \backslash \phantom{......}/\phantom{.}\\ \ce{—C – C —}\\ /\phantom{......}\backslash\phantom{.}\end{array}\] |
\[\begin{array}{cc} \backslash \phantom{......}/\\ \ce{C \text{=} C}\\ /\phantom{......}\backslash\end{array}\] |
\[\ce{- C ≡ C -}\] |
| Type of bond between carbons | single | double | triple |
| Bond length (nm) | 0.154 | 0.134 | 0.120 |
| Bond Enthalpy kJ mol-1 | 348 | 612 | 837 |
- What happens to the bond length when unsaturation increases?
- Which is the most stable compound?
- Indicate the relationship between bond strength and Bond enthalpy.
- Comment on the overall relation between Bond length, Bond Enthalpy, and Bond strength and stability.

Solution
- When unsaturation increases, the bond length decreases.
- The stable compound is ethyne (C2H2).
- Bond strength `prop` Bond enthalpy Larger the bond enthalpy, the stronger is the bond.
- As bond length decreases, bond enthalpy, bond strength, and stability increase.
