x-ray diffraction reveals that there are two different bond lengths in a crystal of iodine I2. explain this observation and outline which bond type you would expect to be responsible for the shorter and longer bonds

The covalent bond is the short one, and the weaker intermolecular forces are the longer one.

whilst a chemical replace happens (as in a chemical reaction) bonds are broken and then reformed in a various configuration. reckoning on the style of bonds, this suggests that electrons would be shared or transfered between atoms whilst the recent bonds style.

I would expect a chemical bonding based on love....which is a thicker more permanent bond to be the longer.
I would expect the iodine since it burns to be shorter. and not everlasting.
