The C-H bond distance is the longest in:

A

`C_(2)H_(2)`

B

`C_(2)H_(4)`

C

`C_(2)H_(6)`

D

`C_(2)H_(2)Br_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Bond length decreases with increase in s-character as s-orbital is smaller than p-orbital.
`underset(sp^(3))(C_(2)H_(6)), " "underset(sp)(C_(2)H_(2))," "underset(sp^(2))(C_(2)H_(2))," "underset(sp^(2))(C_(2)H_(2)Br_(2))`
