Which statement is incorrect about peptide bond?
- Correct answerA$\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length in proteins is longer than usual $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length.
- BSpectroscopic analysis shows planar structure of

bond. - C$\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length in proteins is smaller than usual $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length.
- DNone of these
Solution
Due to resonance,

bond acquires some double bond character, hence shorter in length.

bond acquires some double bond character, hence shorter in length.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
