1.	Explain the nature of C- X bond in haloarenes and its resonance structure.
Answer» <P> Solution :(i) In haloarenes, the carbon atom is `sp^2` hybridised. The` sp^2` hybridised orbitals are SHORTER and holds the electron pair bond more. (ii) Halogen atom contain p - orbital with LONE pair of electrons which interacts with `pi` orbitals of benzene RING to form extended conjugated system of `pi`-orbital. (III) The delocalisation of these electrons give double bond character to C - X bond. The resonance structure of halobenzene are give as :
