The electronegativities of carbon and chlorine are 2.5 and 3.00 respectively. Calculate the C-Cl bond length if C-C and Cl-Cl bond distances are 1.54`A^(@)` and 1.0`A^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`d_(A-B)= r_(S)+r_(B)- 0.09Delta_(chi)`
Bond distance=` (1.54)/(2)+(1.00)/(2)- 0.09 xx 1.00= 1.18 A`
