The correct increasing order of C-H(A), C-O(B), C=O(C) and C N(D) bonds in terms of covalent bond length is :
- D < C < B < A
- D < C < A < B
- A < B < C < D
- A < D < C < B
Answer
(4) A < D < C < B
Solution
As per NCERT (average bond lengths):
C-H = 107 pm, C N = 116 pm, C=O = 121 pm, C-O = 143 pm
Bond length decreases as bond order increases (C N < C=O < C-O), and the C–H bond is the shortest because H is the smallest atom.
A < D < C < B
