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

A

`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - CI`

B

`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - Mg^(+) CI^(-)`

C

`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - Br`

D

`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - CH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_3 - CH_2 - CI`
`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - Mg^(+) CI^(-)`
`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - Br`
`""^(**) CH_3 - CH_2 - CH_3`
Since Cl has highest electronegativity, structure (a) will have highest positive charge on `C^(**)`.
