The correct order of decreasing \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) angle in the following molecule is

  1. A I>II>III
  2. B II>I>III
  3. C III>II>I
  4. D I>III>II
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) II>I>III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond angle is about \(120^{\circ}\), when \(\mathrm{C}\) is bonded through a double bond but in case of \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) the \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond angle is only \(109^{\circ} \mathrm{2B}^{\prime}\) Cyclic compounds have…
