Q38 / 125 · BITSAT 2013 · Chemistry

Which statement is incorrect about peptide bond?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length in proteins is longer than usual $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length.
  • B
    Spectroscopic analysis shows planar structure of Figure
    bond.
  • C
    $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length in proteins is smaller than usual $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ bond length.
  • D
    None of these

Solution

Due to resonance, Figure
bond acquires some double bond character, hence shorter in length.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
