Due to resonance C - Cl bond acquire partial double bond character. Hence C - Cl bond length is least.

Q. Among the following compounds, which one has the shortest $C — Cl$ bond ?

$H_{3} C - Cl$

In option $(3) C - Cl$ bond is shortest due to resonance of lone pair of $- Cl$ .

Due to resonance $C - Cl$ bond acquire partial double bond character.

Hence $C - Cl$ bond length is least.

Q. Among the following compounds, which one has the shortest C—Cl bond ?

H3​C−Cl

In option (3)C−Cl bond is shortest due to resonance of lone pair of −Cl. Due to resonance C−Cl bond acquire partial double bond character. Hence C−Cl bond length is least.
