The reaction `CH_(4)Cl_(2) overset("U.V. light") to CH_(3)Cl+HCl` is an example of

A

addition reaction

B

substitution reaction

C

elimination reaction

D

rrerrangmenet reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We know that in given reaction hydrogen atom of the methane molecule `(CH_(4))` is replaced by a chlorine atom. We also know the substitution reaction are those reaction in which an atom or grou of atom directly attached , to a carbon in the substrate moelcule,is preplaced by another atom or group of atoms. Therefore the given reaction is an example of subsitution reaction.
