ANSWER:
Solution:
Here we have to find the longer C-Cl bond length among the given molecule i.e CH3CH2Cl and CH2=CHCl
Step 1
From the concept of hybridization , it is known that, more the s-character, shorter and stronger will be the bond.
In case of CH3CH2Cl, in the C-Cl bond , the C -atom is sp3 hybridized and the Cl-atom is also sp3 hybridized. Thus the bond will form by the overlapping of two sp3 hybridized orbital (s-character 25%).
