Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the section A,B

C triple bond O has a higher bond energy. A triple bond is shorter and more difficult to break hence they have a higher bond energy.

For the same reason in the C,D section; C triple bond N has a higher bond energy.

In the next section, the higher the bond order the shorter the bond. Hence C triple bond C is the shortest in the A,B section while C triple bond O is the shortest in the C,D section. Both have a bond order of 3.

In the A,B section; I is larger than Br hence H-Br has the shortest bond length.

In the C,D section; Br is larger than Cl hence P-Cl has the shortest bond length.
