Draw the complete structures of bromomethane, bromoethane, 2-bromopropane, and tert-butylbromide. Arrange them in the order of increasing steric hindrance.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H-underset(underset(H)|)overset(overset(H)|)C-Br " "H-underset(underset(H)|)overset(overset(CH_3)|)C-Br " "H underset(underset(CH_3)|)overset(overset(CH_3)|)C-Br" "C_3H-underset(underset(H)|)overset(overset(CH_3)|)C-Br `
Bromomethane `" "`Bromoethane `" "`2-Bromopropane `" "`tert-butyl bromide
(No steric hindrance)`" "`(Small steric hindrance) `" "`(More steric hindrance) `" "`(Most steric hindrance)
Thus, the steric hindrance increases as : bromomethane < bromoethane < 2-bromopropane < tert-butyl bromide.
