In which of the following compounds the carbon marked with asterisk is expected to have greatest positive charge ?

A

`.^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Cl`

B

`.^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Mg^(+) Cl^(-)`

C

`.^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Br`

D

`.^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Electronegativity of `Cl, Br, C` and Mg follos the order `Cl gt Br gt C gt Mg`

Hence, `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Cl` has the greatest positive charge
