    Among the following which one has weakest carbon-halogen bond?

    A)  Benzyl bromide 

    B)  Bromobenzene

    C)  Vinyl bromide    

    D)  Benzyl chloride

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[C-X\] bond in benzyl bromide is much weaker than in vinyl bromide and bromobenzene since the benzyl cation left after the removal of the bromide ion is stabilized by resonance. Further, \[C-Br\] is weaker than \[C-Cl\] bond. Therefore, \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\] has the weakest \[C-X\] bond.
