is

Solution:

Method (1) Bond-multiplicity increases bond-length.
Thus,
(i) has least bond-length.
(ii) next to .
(iii)
Hence, increasing order of bond-length is
Method (2)
(i) More be the value of bond-order smaller be the bond-length and more be the bond-energy.
(ii) Bond-order (BO) =
Total number of bonds associated between two atoms in all structure
T otal number of canonical forms
(a)
(b)
Hence, order of bond-length
