Q. In which of the following, the bond length between hybridised carbon atom and other carbon atom is minimum?

A) Propyne
B) Propene
C) Butane
D) Propane
Explanation

(a)
We know that the $C - C$ bond length = 1.54 A, C =C bond length = 1.34 A and $C \equiv \ C$ bond length = 1.20 A. Since propyne has triple bond; therefore, it has minimum bond length.
