The correct option is A A. C2H4 ; B. C2H2
Among ethylene C2H4 and acetylene C2H2, (A) ethylene C2H4 has a greater CC bond distance and (B) acetylene C2H2 has a greater CC bond energy. Higher is the bond order, more stronger is the bond. Hence, higher is the bond energy and lower is the bond length.The bond orders of ethylene C2H4 and acetylene C2H2 are 2 and 3 respectively.
