1.	Observe the following and answer the questions given below.a. Name the type of halogen derivativeb. Comment on the bond length of C-X bond in itc. Can react by SN1 mechanism? Justify your answer.
Answer» a. Vinyl halide b. C – X bond length shorter in vinyl halide than alkyl halide. Vinyl halide has partial double bond character due to resonance. In vinyl halide, carbon is sp hybridised. The bond is shorter and stronger and the molecule is more stable. c. Yes, It reacts by S_N1 mechanism. S_N1 mechanism involves formation of carbocation intermediate. The vinylic carbocation intermediate formed is resonance stabilized, hence S_N1 mechanism is favoured.

a. Vinyl halide

b. C – X bond length shorter in vinyl halide than alkyl halide. Vinyl halide has partial double bond character due to resonance.

In vinyl halide, carbon is sp hybridised. The bond is shorter and stronger and the molecule is more stable.

c. Yes, It reacts by S_N1 mechanism. S_N1 mechanism involves formation of carbocation intermediate. The vinylic carbocation intermediate formed is resonance stabilized, hence S_N1 mechanism is favoured.
