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

Since Cl has the highest electronegativity : Cl (3.0), Mg (1.2), Br (2.8) and C (2.5), therefore, the asterisked carbon in option (a) has the highest positive charge.
