What is the difference between haxachlorobenzene and benzene hexachloride?

Answer»


Iodide ion `(I^(-))` is a stronger nucleophile than BROMIDE ion `(Br^(-))` because iodine is less electronegative and therefore, electron pair can be more readily released by `I^(-)` ion than by `Br^(-)` ion.

Solution :
Hexachlorobenzene is a substituted compound obtained by replacing all the hydrogen atoms in BENZENE with chlorine atoms. On the other hand, benzene hexachloride is an addition compound formed when three MOLES of chloride ADD on one mole of benzene under reaction conditions.Out of `Br^(-) and I^(-)` ions, which is a stronger nulcleophile?
