Hi Disha, How big are the distance changes you are seeing? Like Carlo mentioned, there is a close connection between the set of (bond distance, coordination number, valence). See, for example, the very successful Bond Valence Model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valence_method). But in an abstract sense, coordination number and valence are discrete, while values for bond distance are continuous. So, there is some range of bond distances over which the valence does not change --Matt Newville
