Bond length increases with the size of the halogen. Among F, Cl, Br, and I, iodine is the largest, so CH₃-I has the longest C-X bond.

Bond length decreases with smaller halogen size. CH₃F has the shortest C-X bond due to fluorine's small atomic radius.

In C₂H₂ (ethyne), the C#C triple bond has a bond length of ~120 pm, shorter than typical double or single bonds.

The average bond length of a C=C double bond, as in ethene, is ~134 pm due to increased electron density from two shared pairs, shorter than a C-C single bond (~154 pm) but longer than a C#C triple bond (~120 pm).

N₂ has a triple bond with a bond length of ~110 pm, shorter than O₂ ’s double bond (121 pm) due to higher bond order (3 vs. 2).
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Chemistry > Chapter 4: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure > Topic: Covalent Bonding - Bond Parameters and Polarity and Fajan's Rule
N₂ has a triple bond (bond order 3), resulting in the shortest bond length (~110 pm) due to greater electron density pulling the nuclei closer.

N₂ has a triple bond with a bond length of ~110 pm, shorter than C₂H₂ (120 pm) or CO (113 pm in MO context) due to high bond order and small atomic size.

Among molecules with a double bond, O₂ has a bond length of ~121 pm, shorter than C₂H₄ (~134 pm), SO₂ (~143 pm), or NO₂ (~124 pm), due to higher bond strength and smaller atomic radii.
