The double bond between c and o is shorter and weaker
Explanation:
1.A carbon–oxygen bond is a polar covalent bond between carbon and oxygen. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and prefers to either share two electrons in bonding with carbon,
2. leaving the 4 nonbonding electrons in 2 lone pairs :O: or to share two pairs of electrons to form the carbonyl functional group.
3. the bond between c and o involves unequal sharing of electrons whole c and c involves hybridization sp2 of orbitals and also catenation phenomenon in which carbon could form long chain with it's other carbon
