Which one of the following organic compound has the least carbon - carbon bond length?
- A
Ethane
- B
Ethene
- C
Ethyne
- D
Methane
Option A is incorrect as Alkanes have the highest bond length (of about 1.54 Angstrom).
Option B is incorrect as Alkenes have a lower bond length (of about 1.34 Angstrom).
Option C is correct as Alkynes have the lowest bond length (of about 1.20 Angstrom).
Option D is incorrect due to similar reasons as stated for Alkanes in option A.
Note: The unsaturated compounds have lower bond lengths due to high e- density.
Option A is incorrect as Alkanes have the highest bond length (of about 1.54 Angstrom).
Option B is incorrect as Alkenes have lower bond length (of about 1.34 Angstrom).
Option C is correct as Alkynes have the lowest bond length (of about 1.20 Angstrom).
