MCQ
Compare carbon-carbon bond rotation energy across $A, B$ and $C$ 
  • A
    $A > B > C$
  • B
    $A > C > B$
  • $B > A > C$
  • D
    $B > C > A$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$B > A > C$
c
Driving force for breaking of double bond is formation of aromatic species.

Order of stability of ring: $6$ -membered $\,>\,5$- membered $\,>\,7$ membered $\,>\,4$- membered $>\, 3$-membered

Hence, $(B)$ will break most easily due to formation of stable rings. $(C)$ will not break easily due to formation of antiaromatic ring.
