The correct relation between the bond lengths $a$ and $b$ is

  • A
    $a = b$
  • $b > a$
  • C
    $b < a$
  • D
    Impossible to predict

Answer

Correct option: B.
$b > a$
b

{{O^{\delta  - }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
{| \vdots \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\\
{C{H_3} - C\,\underline  \cdots  \,\mathop O\limits^{\delta  + }  - C{H_3}}
\end{array}$

due to resonance this bond has partial double bond characters
