Please sort these bonds in decreasing order of their bond strengths... 1. C = O 2. C ≡ N 3. N ≡ N 4.C − C 5. C − H And please explain as to why they are correct. I feel that C − H is stronger than C − C first of all because it has more S overlapping. But I have no idea about the rest, please give reasons also..

4.CC

5.CH

I feel that CH
 is stronger than CC
 first of all because it has more S overlapping.

But I have no idea about the rest, please give reasons also..

N2 has strongest ppi-ppi triple bonding, followed by CN. After these comes CO with double bonding, followed by CH and C-C
So the correct order is
N2 > CN > CO > CH> C-C
