The C-Cl bond length in chlorobenzene is less than the C-Cl bond length in chloromethane because of the ________

The C-Cl bond length in chlorobenzene is less than the C-Cl bond length in chloromethane because of the ________ Correct Answer difference in hybridisation of carbon in C-Cl bond

In chlorobenzene, the C of C-Cl bond is sp2 hybridised, whereas the C of C-Cl bond in chloromethane is sp3 hybridised. Thus, there is more s character in the carbon of the C-Cl bond in chlorobenzene and as a result holds the electron pair of C-Cl bond more tightly.
