Vedclass · Answer

(D) In chlorocyclohexane, the carbon atom attached to chlorine is $sp^3$ hybridized, while in chlorobenzene, it is $sp^2$ hybridized.Due to the resonance effect ($+M$ effect) in chlorobenzene, the $C-Cl$ bond acquires partial double bond character ($B$ is correct).This resonance also reduces the polarity of the $C-Cl$ bond compared to chlorocyclohexane ($C$ is correct).The $C-Cl$ bond in chlorobenzene is formed using an $sp^2$ hybridized orbital of carbon, which is shorter and stronger than the $sp^3$ bond in chlorocyclohexane ($E$ is correct).Statement $A$ is incorrect because the resonance effect decreases the negative charge on chlorine. Statement $D$ is incorrect because the $C-Cl$ bond is actually shorter in chlorobenzene due to the partial double bond character.
