the carbon triple bond distance is less than C=C and C-C bond distances

Solution

Dear student

The bond length of triple bond is less than the bond length of double and single bond. It is so because in triple bond more overlap of orbitals takes place which reduces the distance between the two atoms as compared to the double and single bond.
Also bond length is inversely proportional to the bond strength.
Triple bonds are much stronger than the double and single bonds and thus their bond length is small.
