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..:)
