how How does having more s character result in a shorter bondshorten bonds and stronger bondstrengthen bonds?

  • [ ] im aware that having more s character means that you have electrons that are in the lowest energy state (?) and are very close to the nucleus of the atom which is composed of a positive charge —> but then what’s the connection of having electrons that are tightly bond to the nucleus and the bond length and strength?

I'm aware that having more s character means that electrons are in the lowest energy state (?) and very close to the positive atomic nucleus. But then what’s the connection between having electrons tightly bound to the nucleus and bond length and strength?
