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

A

`""^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Cl`

B

`""^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Mg^(+) Cl^(-)`

C

`""^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - Br`

D

`""^(**)CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Electronegativity of , Cl , Br C and Mg follows the order `Cl gt Br gt C gt Mg`

-I effect of `Cl gt Br`.
Hence `CH_(3) - CH_(2) -Cl` has the greatest positive charge.
