Question:

Identify the correctly matched pair from the following:

Show Hint

The bond lengths in molecules like benzene are affected by resonance, which makes the C-C bond length shorter than that of a typical single bond and longer than that of a double bond.

  • C-C ------- 120 pm
  • C=C ------- 110 pm
  • C=C ------- 154 pm
  • C-C Bond length in Benzene ------- 139 pm

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- The bond length of a C-C single bond in a molecule like ethane is approximately 154 pm, so option (1) is incorrect.
- The bond length of a C=C double bond is around 133 pm (not 110 pm), so option (2) is incorrect.
- The bond length of a C=C double bond in alkynes and alkenes is generally about 134 pm, not 154 pm, making option (3) incorrect.
- In benzene, due to resonance, the C-C bond length is intermediate, around 139 pm. Hence, option (4) is correct.
