Question

Chlorine in vinyl chloride is less reactive because (A) s p2 -hybridised carbon has more acidic character than s p3 -hybridised carbon (B) C - Cl bond develops partial double bond character (C) of resonance (D) both (b) and (c).

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In vinyl chloride, because of resonance C - Cl bond acquires some double bond character which makes it less reactive. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/5588afd34914789dcb33f7cef681dcaf-.png" />

Q. Chlorine in vinyl chloride is less reactive because

$s p^{2}$ -hybridised carbon has more acidic character than $s p^{3}$ -hybridised carbon

$C - Cl$ bond develops partial double bond character

of resonance

both (b) and (c).

In vinyl chloride, because of resonance $C - Cl$ bond acquires some double bond character which makes it less reactive.

Q. Chlorine in vinyl chloride is less reactive because

sp2 -hybridised carbon has more acidic character than sp3 -hybridised carbon

C−Cl bond develops partial double bond character

of resonance

both (b) and (c).

In vinyl chloride, because of resonance C−Cl bond acquires some double bond character which makes it less reactive.

$s p^{2}$ -hybridised carbon has more acidic character than $s p^{3}$ -hybridised carbon
