How would the bond energy and bond length of a carbon-carbon bond in C2H6 compare to C2H4?
Answer: The bond energy for C2H4 would be greater, but the bond length would be shorter.
I understand that bond length would be shorter because single vs double bond. But wouldn't the bond energy for C2H4 be less than C2H6 because C2H4 has a double bound, and therefore more stable, which means it will have less energy?
