A) Its IUPAC name is ethane nitrile
B) The bond between C and N is a triple bond
C) The C -C - N bond angle is \[180{}^\circ \]
D) The carbon-carbon bond is longer than the carbon-nitrogen bond
E) It has a relatively high boiling point due to hydrogen bonding
Correct Answer: E
Solution :
IUPAC name of \[C{{H}_{3}}CN\]is ethanenitrile. The bond between C and N is a triple bond and C-C-N bond angle\[180{}^\circ \]. The carbon-carbon bond is longer than the carbon-nitrogen bond. It has relatively high boiling point because \[-\,CN\] group is highly polar, hence cyanides has high dipole moment resulting in strong intermolecular attraction between their molecules.You need to login to perform this action.
