Alkyl fluorides are synthesised by alkyl chloride/bromide in presence of………or……….. .

Options

A. `CaF_(2)`
B. `CoF_(2)`
C. `Hg_(2)F_(2)`
D. `NaF`

Answer

B, C

Explanation

Only transition metal fluorides such as `CoF_(2) and Hg_(2)F_(2)` react with alkyl chloride/bromide to form alkyl fluorides. Alkali metal fluoride (NaF0 and alkaline earth metal fluorides do not react to form alkyl fluorides. Thus, option (b) and (c) are correct.
