Q: What is the correct answer for JEE Main Chemistry Q64?

The correct answer is B. Bond length generally decreases with increasing bond order and decreases with increasing electronegativity difference (for similar bond orders). C-H (A): Single bond. Typical bond length $\approx 107$ pm. C-O (B): Single bond. Typical bond length $\approx 143$ pm. C=O (C): Double bond. Typical bond length $\approx 121$ pm. C$\equiv$N (D): Triple bond. Typical bond length $\approx 116$ pm. Comparin

Bond length generally decreases with increasing bond order and decreases with increasing electronegativity difference (for similar bond orders). C-H (A): Single bond. Typical bond length $\approx 107$ pm. C-O (B): Single bond. Typical bond length $\approx 143$ pm. C=O (C): Double bond. Typical bond length $\approx 121$ pm. C$\equiv$N (D): Triple bond. Typical bond length $\approx 116$ pm. Comparing bond lengths: Triple bonds are shorter than double bonds, which are shorter than single bonds. So, C$\equiv$N (D) < C=O (C). For single bonds, C-H vs C-O. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, and its atomic radius is larger than hydrogen. The C-O single bond is longer than the C-H single bond. So, C-H (A) < C-O (B). Combining these, the order of increasing bond length is: C$\equiv$N (D) < C=O (C) < C-H (A) < C-O (B). So, D < C < A < B. However, the options and solution suggest a different order. Let's recheck the typical bond lengths. C-H: ~109 pm. C-O (single): ~143 pm. C=O (double): ~121 pm. C$\equiv$N (triple): ~116 pm. So, the order from shortest to longest is: C$\equiv$N (D) < C-H (A) < C=O (C) < C-O (B). This would be D < A < C < B. This is not an option. Let's re-evaluate the provided solution's values: C-H (A) 107 pm, C=N (D) 116 pm, C=O (C) 121 pm, C-O (B) 143 pm. Based on these values, the increasing order of bond length is: A (107 pm) < D (116 pm) < C (121 pm) < B (143 pm). So, A < D < C < B. This matches option (2).
