Ethylidene chloride is a/an…..A. vic-dihalideB. gem-dihalideC. allylic halideD. vinylic halide |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B In vic-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the adjacent carbon atoms. In gem-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom. They are known as alkylidene halides. In allylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom next to carbon-carbon double bond In vinylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to `sp^(2)` hybridised carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond. In ethylidene chloride `(H_(3)C-CHCI_(2))` both halogen atoms are present on same carbon atom so it is gem-dihalide. |
