Question:medium

Compare the bond length X, Y and Z in the following compound
Where: (X) is the C=O bond, (Y) is the C-O bond between carbonyl group and oxygen, (Z) is the C-O bond between the oxygen and the methyl group.

Show Hint

In organic compounds, bond lengths depend on the type of bond (single, double, triple), as well as the inductive effects of surrounding atoms or groups. Electron-withdrawing groups shorten bonds, while electron-donating groups lengthen them.
