The 10 pages that link to Bond length, each with the reason it gives.
Covalent bondRelated: Shared electron density stabilizes atoms at a characteristic separation.
Chemical bondRelated: Bond length is a direct structural measure linked to bond order and strength.
Bond orderRelated: Higher bond order generally corresponds to shorter bonds between the same atoms.
Atomic radiusRelated: Bond lengths are a principal source of covalent-radius estimates.
Single bondRelated: The shared pair holds the bonded nuclei at a characteristic separation.
Triple bondRelated: Triple bonds are generally shorter than comparable double and single bonds.
ÅngströmRelated: Molecular bond lengths are commonly reported in ångströms.
