Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles And Techniques Ques 22
22. Cyclic hydrocarbon ’ $A$ ’ has all the carbon and hydrogen atoms in a single plane. All the carbon carbon bonds have the same length, less than $1.54$ $ \AA$, but more than $1.34 $ $\AA$. The $C-C-C$ bond angle will be
[1989]
(a) $109^{\circ} 28^{\prime}$
(b) $100^{\circ}$
(c) $180^{\circ}$
(d) $120^{\circ}$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 22.(d)
Solution:
- (d) All the properties mentioned in the question suggest that it is a benzene molecule. Since in benzene all carbons are $s p^{2}-$ hybridized, therefore, $C-C-C$ angle is $120^{\circ}$
