For the compounds CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3I and CH3F, the correct order of increasing C-halogen bond length is :

Options

  1. ACH3F < CH3Br < CH3Cl < CH3I
  2. BCH3F < CH3I < CH3Br < CH3Cl
  3. CCH3F < CH3Cl < CH3Br < CH3I
  4. DCH3Cl < CH3Br < CH3F < CH3I

Correct answer

C. CH3F < CH3Cl < CH3Br < CH3I

Step-by-step solution

C-halogen bond length totally depends on the electronegativity difference between Carbon and halogen. The more the difference and the less is the bond length. The electronegativity order of halogens is I<Br<Cl<FI < Br < Cl < F. Hence, the correct order of increasing C-halogen bond length is CH3F<CH3Cl<CH3Br<CH3I.CH3F < CH3Cl < CH3Br < CH3I .

Or we can say that as the size of halogen increases C-halogen bond length also increases.
