Answer to Problem 4.1P
The increasing order of bond-lengths in the given compound is
Explanation of Solution
The given compound is,
Figure 1
The bond with higher percentage of s-character has electron density closer to the nucleus and thus, has shorter bond length. The order of percentage
• Bond ‘a’ is present between the
• Bond ‘c’ is present between the two
• Due to the conjugation between two pi bonds, the bond length of ‘e’ is in between the carbon-carbon single bond and carbon-carbon double bond.
• Bond ‘b’ is present between one
• The
From the above points, it is concluded that the order of bond-lengths in the given compound is
The increasing order of bond-lengths in the given compound is
