The carbon-carbon bond length in benzene is
Options
- Ain between C ₂ H ₆ and C ₂ H ₄
- Bsame as in C ₂ H ₄
- Cin between C ₂ H ₆ and C ₂ H ₂
- Din between C ₂ H ₄ and C ₂ H ₂
Correct answer
A. in between C ₂ H ₆ and C ₂ H ₄
Step-by-step solution
The carbon-carbon bond length in benzene (1.39 Å) is between that of C-C (1.54 Å) and C = C (1.34 Å) ie, in between that of C ₂ H ₆ and C ₂ H ₄ .
