Chemistry Question on Hydrocarbons

Increasing order of carbon-carbon bond length for the following is C2H4(A)C2H2(B)C6H6(C)C2H6(D)\underset{(A)}{C_2H_4}\,\, \underset{(B)}{C_2H_2}\,\, \underset{(C)}{C_6H_6}\,\, \underset{(D)}{C_2H_6}

A

B < C < A < D

B

C < B < A < D

C

B < A < C < D

D

D < C < A < B

Answer

B < A < C < D

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is(C): B < A < C < D.

In C2H6C _{2} H _{6}, carbon-carbon bond is single (1.54?)(1.54\, ?). In C6H6C _{6} H _{6}, carbon-carbon bond is partially double (1.39?)(1.39\, ?)

In C2H4C _{2} H _{4}, carbon-carbon bond is double (1.34?)(1.34\, ?)

In C2H2C _{2} H _{2}, carbon-carbon bond is triple (1.10?)(1.10\, ?).
