    A cyclic hydrocarbon molecule has all the carbon and hydrogen is a single plane. All the carbon-carbon bonds are of same length, less than \[1.54\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\], but more than \[1.34\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]. The C-C bond angle will be :

    A)  \[{{109}^{o}}28\]

    B)  \[{{100}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{180}^{o}}\]

    D)  \[{{120}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Cyclic hydrocarbon, with carbon-carbon bond length between \[1.34\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] and \[1.54\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\], is benzene in which due to resonance, \[C-C\], bond length is \[1.39\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\](i. e., between \[1.34\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,-1.54\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]). Benzene is a hexagonal molecule with bond-angle equal to \[{{120}^{o}}\].
