In comparison to $$C-Cl$$ bond in ethyl chloride, the $$C-Cl$$ bond in vinyl chloride is:

Alonger and weaker
Bshorter and weaker
Clonger and stronger
Dshorter and stronger
Correct Answer

Solution

$$C-Cl$$ bond in vinyl chloride has partial double bond character. Therefore, the $$C-Cl$$ bond in vinyl chloride is shorter and stronger as compound to $$C-Cl$$ bond in ethyl chloride. Option D is correct.
