Question

The bond lengths of ethane, ethene, and ethyne were determined, and a graph of the C-H bond length vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was made.

Comment on the observed trend, additionally. How would this trend change if C-H bond energy vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was graphed? Which hydrocarbon has the strongest carbon-carbon bond?
