Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In vicinal-dihalides, the two `-Cl` atoms are present at adjacent positions. In case case of `C_(3)H_(6)Cl_(2)` only one such structure is possible which is 1, 2-dichloropropane. Hence, only one vivinal - dihalide is possible for `C_(3)H_(6)Cl_(2)`.
`underset("1, 2-dichloropropane")(CH_(3)-underset(Cl)underset(|)CH-underset("Cl ")underset("| ")(CH_(2)))`
