${\rm{C}} - {\rm{Cl}}$ bond is stronger than ${\rm{C}}-{\rm{I}}$ bond, because

${\rm{C}} - {\rm{Cl}}$ bond is more ionic than ${\rm{C}}-{\rm{I}}$

${\rm{C}} - {\rm{Cl}}$ bond is polar covalent bond

${\rm{C}} - {\rm{Cl}}$ bond is more covalent than ${\rm{C}}-{\rm{I}}$

${\rm{C}} - {\rm{Cl}}$ bond length is longer than ${\rm{C}}-{\rm{I}}$

bond, because

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{C} - \mathrm{Cl}

bond is more ionic than

\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{I}

The correct answer is C (

Cl > I > Br

) because the stability of oxides decreases down the group due to decreasing electronegativity difference and weaker bonding.
