Ethylidene chloride is a/an….....

Ethylidene chloride is a/an…..

A

vic-dihalide

B

gem-dihalide

C

allylic halide

D

vinylic halide

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In vic-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.
In gem-dihalides, halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom. They are known as alkylidene halides.
In allylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom next to carbon-carbon double bond
In vinylic halides, halogen atom is bonded to `sp^(2)` hybridised carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond.
In ethylidene chloride `(H_(3)C-CHCI_(2))` both halogen atoms are present on same carbon atom so it is gem-dihalide.
