Question:
Which of the following bonds is the strongest?
a) {eq}C - N {/eq}
b) {eq}C = N {/eq}
c) {eq}C \equiv N {/eq}
d) It is not possible to tell
e) All of the above bonds have approximately the same bond strength
Bond Strength:
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share their valence electrons between them. Covalent bonds may be described using some properties which include their bond strength, bond length, bond polarity and bond angle.
