Which of the following compound possesses the " \( \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \) " bond with the lowest bond dissociation
energy?
- A Toluene
- B Benzene
- C n-pentane
- D 2,2-dimethyl propane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Toluene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In toluene, after the dissociation of \( \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \) bond, the carbocation thus formed (i.e., benzyl carbocation) is highly stabilized
byresonance.

Therefore, bond dissociation energy of \( \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \) bond in toluene will be minimum.
byresonance.

Therefore, bond dissociation energy of \( \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \) bond in toluene will be minimum.
