Chapter 9, Problem 102c

Butadiene, C4H6, is a planar molecule that has the following carbon–carbon bond lengths:

(c) The middle C¬C bond length in butadiene (1.48 Å) is a little shorter than the average C¬C single bond length (1.54 Å). Does this imply that the middle C¬C bond in butadiene is weaker or stronger than the average C¬C single bond?
