what about like a C-C triple bond and a regular C-H

methane is sp3 , C2H2 (triple bond) C is sp


isn't C bigger than a Hydrogen making bond length greater ?

a single bond is greater in length than a double bond which is greater than a triple bond

single>double>triple

all there is to it. methane has greater bond lengths bc there are all single bonds. ethyne has a triple bond. triple bonds are shorter than single bonds.
