Effect of size of bond between carbon and leaving group

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Your card is correct, I think. As the bonds between a carbon and a leaving group DECREASES, the strength of a leaving group becoming independent increases. In other words, if a bond is DECREASING in strength, it WEAKENS and there's a higher chance it will ACTUALLY break. The semantics of it all may be confusing you.
