Which of the following is not formed by the reaction of `Cl_2` on `CH_4` in sunlight

A

`CHCl_3`

B

`CH_3Cl`

C

`CH_3CH_3`

D

`CH_3CH_2CH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CH_(4)overset(cl_2)rarr CH_(3)Cl overset(Cl_2)rarr CH_(2)Cl_(2) overset(Cl_2)rarr CHCl_(3) overset(Cl_2)rarr C Cl_4.`
Since this reaction takes place by free radical mechanism. Hence, there is a possibility of formation of ethane.
`underset("Methyl free radicals")(CH_3 + CH_(3) ) rarr underset("Ethane")(CH_3-CH_3)`
