The carbon-chlorine bond length is shortest in
Options
- AC H 2 = C H – C l
- BC H 3 – C l
- CC 6 H 5 – C H 2 – C l
- DC H 2 = C H – C H 2 – C l
Correct answer
A. C H 2 = C H – C l
Step-by-step solution
The carbon-chlorine bond length is shortest in C H 2 = C H – C l as lone pair of Cl is involved in delocallisation due to which a double bond character develops between C and Cl-atoms.
