Arrange single, double and triple bonds in decreasing order of their strengths.


Options:
A .   Double bond > Single bond > Triple bond
B .   Triple bond < Double bond < Single bond
C .   Triple bond = Single bond = Double bond
D .   Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
Answer: Option D
:
D

As the number of shared electrons increases, the bond strength increases. 


In a triple bond, a total of 6 electrons are shared. In a double bond, 4 electrons are shared and in a single bond, only 2 electrons are shared. Thus, the bond strength is as follows:


Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond.
