Question
As compared with chlorocyclohexane, which of the following statements correctly apply to chlorobenzene?
A. The magnitude of negative charge is more on chlorine atoms
B. The $C - Cl$ bond has partial double bond character
C. $C - Cl$ bond is less polar
D. $C - Cl$ bond is longer due to repulsion between delocalised electrons of the aromatic ring and lone pairs of electrons of chlorine.
E. The $C - Cl$ bond is formed using ${sp}^{2}$ hybridised orbital of carbon.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
A.A, C and E only
B.B, C and D only
C.A, D and E only
D.B, C and E only
Solution
Chlorocylohexane is more polar due to -I effect of -Cl,
Whereas chlorobenzene has $- I > + M$, so it is less polar & also has partial double bond character.
