Bond length is the measurable distance between two covalently bonded atoms. This measurable distance is an average, as the distance between atoms bounded together can change. Electrostatic forces, where opposites attract, contribute to the strength of a bond.
Characteristics of the Covalent Bond. The distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy (the average distance between two bonded atoms) is the bond length. In forming a covalent bond, the hydrogen atoms release energy. The same amount of energy must be added to separate the bonded atoms.
