Detailed Solution

Find the bond order in each compound to compare the bond length of the N-N bond between the supplied values. The bond order of the N2 molecule is 3. In this instance, nitrogen is so triple bound. Bond order 2 is present in the molecule N2O. In this instance, the nitrogen atoms are doubly linked. The bond order of N2O4 is  1. In this instance, the nitrogen atoms are solely connected. Bond length is higher in the molecule with a lower amount of bond order. Therefore, molecules are grouped as follows in order of increasing  N-N bond length:

N2O4 , N2O, N2
