Solution

The bond length in a molecule is determined by the type of bond between the atoms. There are three types of bonds: single, double, and triple. A single bond is the longest, a double bond is shorter, and a triple bond is the shortest.

  1. Ethane (C2H6) has a single bond between the carbon atoms.
  2. Ethylene (C2H4) has a double bond between the carbon atoms.
  3. Acetylene (C2H2) has a triple bond between the carbon atoms.

Therefore, Acetylene (C2H2) has the shortest C-C bond length.
