Which of the following is an example of vic-dihalide?

Options

A. Dichloromethane
B. 1, 2-dichloroethane
C. Ethylidene chloride
D. Allyl chloride

Answer

B

Explanation

Vic-dihalides are those halides in which two halogen atoms are present on the two adjacent carbon atoms. Write the structure of the given compound
`Cl-overset(H)overset(|)underset("Dichloromethane")underset(H)underset(|)(C)-Cl" "underset("1,2-dichloroethane")underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH_2)-underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH_2)" "H-overset(H)overset(|)underset(H)underset(|)(C)-overset(Cl)overset(|)underset("Ethylidene chloride")underset(Cl)underset(|)(C)-H`
`overset(Cl)overset(|)(CH_2)-underset("Alkyl chloride")(CH)=CH_2`
ln 1, 2-dichloroethane, the two chlorine atoms are attached to two adjacent carbon atoms.
