what factors determine the length and strength of a covalent bond?
['Strength of covalent bond. Dependent on the bond dissociation energy.', 'Stronger covalent bonds. Have shorter bond length.', 'Extent of atomic orbital overlap. Dependent on the size of the atom. ... ', 'Number of bonds between atoms. ... ', 'Polarity of bond. ... ', 'Presence of neighboring lone pair electrons.']
