Heterolytic bond dissociation energy of `C-Br` bond is minimum forA. `CH_(3)Br`B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)Br`C. `(CH_(3))_(2)CHBR`D. `(CH_(3))_(3)CBr` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D This bonds dissociation energy is the amount of energy that must be supplied to convert a mole of alkyl bromide into carbocations and bromide ions: `R-Br-gt R^(+)+Br^(-)` The order of relative stability of carbocations is as follows: `3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@) gt overset(+)CH_(3)` because the more stable the carbocation, the lesser the enrgy required to form the carbocation. |
