Which species has the shortest carbon-nitrogen bond, ch3cn, ch3nh2, or ch2nh? acetonitrile methylamine methanimine (c) which species has the strongest carbon-nitrogen bond, ch3cn, ch3nh2, or ch2nh?

Shortest carbon-nitrogen bond = CH3CN, strongest carbon-nitrogen bond = CH3CN

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as the distance between the centers of two covalently bonded atoms, in this case; carbon and hydrogen.

The length of the bond is determined by the number of bonded electrons (the bond order).

The higher the bond order, the stronger the pull between the two atoms and the shorter the bond length.  

Therefore, bond length increases in the following order: triple bond < double bond < single bond.

CH3CN - There's a triple bond between Carbon and Nitrogen

CH3NH2 - The bond between carbon and nitrogen is a single bond.

CH2NH - The bond between carbon and nitrogen is a double bond.

The specie with the shortest carbon-nitrogen bond is CH3CN (acetonitrile).

The species with the strongest carbon-nitrogen bond is also CH3CN (acetonitrile) because it contains a triple bond. A triple bond contains one sigma and 2 pi bonds. The energy required to break it is more when compared to the other bonds hence, it is the strongest bond.

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
