Question:

A cyclic hydrocarbon molecule has all the carbon and hydrogen is a single plane. All the carbon-carbon bonds are of same length, less than $ 1.54\,?? but more than $ 1.34 \,?? $ The C-C bond angle will be:

Updated On: Jun 20, 2022
  • $ {{109}^{o}}28 $
  • $ {{100}^{o}} $
  • $ {{180}^{o}} $

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Cyclic hydrocarbon, with carbon-carbon bond length between $ 1.34\, ?? and $ 1.54\,?? is benzene in which due to resonance, C-C, bond length is $ 1.39\, ?? $ (i. e., between $ 1.34\,??1.54\,?? ). Benzene is a hexagonal molecule with bond-angle equal to $ {{120}^{o}}. $

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Reaction Mechanism

SN1 Reaction Mechanism:

SN1 reaction mechanism takes place by following three steps –

  • Formation of carbocation 
  • Attack of nucleophile 
  • Deprotonation 

SN2 Reaction Mechanism:

The SN2 reaction mechanism involves the nucleophilic substitution reaction of the leaving group (which generally consists of halide groups or other electron-withdrawing groups) with a nucleophile in a given organic compound.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The mechanism of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction contains three main components which are:

  1. A new sigma bond from C=C is formed during the reaction in the arene nucleophile.
  2. Due to the breaking of the C-H sigma bond, a proton is removed.
  3. The C=C bond is reformed and it restores the aromaticity of the compound.

Electrophilic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The electrophilic substitution reaction mechanism is composed of three steps, which will be discussed more below.

  • Electrophile Generation
  • Carbocation Formation
  • Proton Removal
