The bond length of c–cl bond is larger in haloalkanes than that in haloarenes. why?

In haloalkanes, the C attached to halogen atom is sp3 hybridized, while in haloarenes it is sp2
The s character in Haloalkanes is 25% and in other is 33%, so higher s character creates more electronegativity and thus closer bonds

Explanation:
The C-Cl bond in haloarene is shorter than haloalkanes. ... We know higher is the s character higher will be the electronegativity, therefore the carbon having sp2 hybridisation is more electronegative and hence the bond pair of electron would be more closer to carbon, which results in the shortening of the C-Cl bond.
