Which one of the following has longest covalent bond distance?
Options
- AC - C
- BC - H
- CC - N
- DC - O
Correct answer
A. C - C
Step-by-step solution
The average distance between the centre of nuclei of the two bonded atoms in a molecule is known as bond length. It depends upon the size of atoms, hybridisation, steric effect, resonance etc. Usually bond length of polar bond is smaller as compared to a non-polar bond. Therefore, C - C bond length is longest among given options.
