We are being asked to list the given compounds in order from lowest to highest C-C bond strength.
• The bond energy determines the strength of the bond in a compound.
▪ the higher the bond energy, the higher is the energy required to break up the molecule/compound into its individual atoms
▪ higher bond energy → higher bond strength
• The bond strength also determines the distance between the atoms
