As the number of covalent bonds between two atoms increases the distance between the atoms, the distance between the and the strength of the bond between
a) increases, increases.
b) is unprecdictable.
c) increases, decreases.
d) decreases, decreases.
e) decreases, increases.

E

Explanation:

As the number of covalent bonds increase, atoms are drawn closer together hence the distance between the atoms decreases. However, the strength of the bonds increases. The bond energy of nitrogen gas (N2) is high because of the strong triple bond between its atoms hence the gas is inert.
