Detailed Solution

  • Bond length is basically the average distance between nucleus of 2 bonded atoms in a molecule. 
  • The compound having shortest S−O bond length is SO3F-, as sulfur has 6 valence electrons and 5 of them are in bonding with oxygen and fluorine is a strongly EN atom.
  • So, it attracts the electrons towards it strongly and reduces the bond length.
