MCQ
In $R−X$ the bond length is maximum in:
  • A
    $C−F$
  • B
    $C−Cl$
  • C
    $C−Br$
  • $C−I$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$C−I$
As we progress down the periodic table from fluorine to iodine, molecular size increases.
As a result, we also see an increase in bond length. Conversely, as molecular size increases and we get longer bonds, the strength of those bonds decreases.
