Which of the following compound possesses the " \( \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \) " bond with the lowest bond dissociation
energy?

  1. A Toluene
  2. B Benzene
  3. C n-pentane
  4. D 2,2-dimethyl propane
Verified Solution

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.
