Bond Lengths of Carbon With Other Elements
A table with experimental single bonds for carbon to other elements is given below. Bond lengths are given in picometers. By approximation the bond distance between two different atoms is the sum of the individual covalent radii (these are given in the chemical element articles for each element). As a general trend, bond distances decrease across the row in the periodic table and increase down a group. This trend is identical to that of the atomic radius.
| Bonded element | Bond length (pm) | Group |
|---|---|---|
| H | 106 - 112 | group 1 |
| Be | 193 | group 2 |
| Mg | 207 | group 2 |
| B | 156 | group 3 |
| Al | 224 | group 3 |
| In | 216 | group 3 |
| C | 120 - 154 | group 4 |
| Si | 186 | group 4 |
| Sn | 214 | group 4 |
| Pb | 229 | group 4 |
| N | 147 - 210 | group 5 |
| P | 187 | group 5 |
| As | 198 | group 5 |
| Sb | 220 | group 5 |
| Bi | 230 | group 5 |
| O | 143 - 215 | group 6 |
| S | 181 - 255 | group 6 |
| Cr | 192 | group 6 |
| Se | 198 - 271 | group 6 |
| Te | 205 | group 6 |
| Mo | 208 | group 6 |
| W | 206 | group 6 |
| F | 134 | group 7 |
| Cl | 176 | group 7 |
| Br | 193 | group 7 |
| I | 213 | group 7 |

Famous quotes containing the words bond, lengths and/or elements:
“Don’t go on a man’s bond in public, nor guarantee his debts in private.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The minister’s wife looked out of the window at that moment, and seeing a man who was not sure that the Pope was Antichrist, emptied over his head a pot full of..., which shows to what lengths ladies are driven by religious zeal.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“psychologist
It is through friendships that teenagers learn to take responsibility, provide support, and give their loyalty to non- family members. It is also in teenage friendships that young people find confidants with whom to share thoughts and feelings that they are not comfortable sharing with their parents. Such sharing becomes one of the elements of true intimacy, which will be established later.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
