Bonding strength refers to the measure of the force holding two atoms together in a chemical bond, which determines the stability and reactivity of a molecule. It is influenced by factors such as bond length, bond order, and the electronegativity of the atoms involved.

Bond length is the average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule, influencing the molecule's stability and reactivity. It varies depending on factors such as atomic size, bond order, and the presence of electronegative elements, making it a critical parameter in understanding chemical structure and behavior.

Bond order is a measure of the stability and strength of a chemical bond, calculated as the difference between the number of bonding and antibonding electrons divided by two. A higher bond order indicates a stronger bond and typically correlates with shorter bond lengths and higher bond energies.
