I have some confusion about the relationship between bond polarity and bond length.
Generally strong bonds are short in length.
Generally strong bonds are more polar. (Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds).
Therefore, the more polar bonds tend to be shorter in length?
And yet, the dipole moment is the product of charge and distance, which implies that the longer the distance, the more the polarity?
I thank you for your time to resolve my confusion.
