Recall that Bond strength is the measure of the amount of energy needed to break apart a bond.
Construct the Lewis structure for each compound to determine which bond will appear as stronger.
Consider the following three compounds: HCCH, H2CCH2, H3CCH3. Order these compounds in order of increasing carbon-carbon bond strength.
