How many β-carbon atoms does 2-Bromobutane have?(a) 0(b) 1(c) 2(d) 3I got this question in my homework.I want to ask this question from Haloalkanes & Haloarenes topic in chapter Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) 1

The BEST explanation: A beta carbon is the carbon atom that is adjacent to the carbon atom that is ATTACHED to the halogen. In 2-Bromobutane, the halogen is at position C-2, so the ALPHA carbon has one carbon on either side, making it two beta carbons
