There are two problem in your provided code :-

You are setting webdriver.chrome.driver with installed chrome location which wrong. you need to download latest chrome driver zip from here and put at any location in your machine and extract that zip and set found chromedriver to the system property with variable webdriver.chrome.driver.
You are providing wrong URL to launch, You should provide URL with http:// or https://.

So the working example are as below :-

public class FirstTestCase { 
  public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {  
   System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/downloaded chromedriver"); 
   WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); 
   String URL = "https://www.google.com";
   driver.get(URL);
  }
}

Hope it works..:)

@muthubala is there any exception?? – Saurabh Gaur Aug 01 '16 at 10:37
The driver executable is a directory – muthubala Aug 01 '16 at 10:39
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable is a directory: /home/administrator/Desktop @ Saurabh Gaur – muthubala Aug 01 '16 at 10:44
@muthubala did you download latest chrome driver from here http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.22/.. – Saurabh Gaur Aug 01 '16 at 10:49
Yes 2.22 @ Saurabh Gaur – muthubala Aug 01 '16 at 10:50
@muthubala if in your system you are putting the `chromedriver.exe` at `/home/administrator/Desktop` location then use as : `System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "home/administrator/Desktop/chromedriver.exe");`.. means provide `chromedriver.exe` with path as well – Saurabh Gaur Aug 01 '16 at 10:59
the same code without chromedriver.exe is showing the same error – muthubala Aug 01 '16 at 11:09
