Which is a tertiary alkyl halide in the following?
Explain with reasons.
(a) `CH_(3)-(CH_(2))_(2)-CHCl-CH_(3)`
(b) `(CH_(3))_(3)CI`
(c) `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-"CCl"_(2)-CH_(3)`
(d) `(CH_(3))_(3)C-CHBr_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(b) `(CH_(3))_(3)CI` is a tertiary alkyl halide, `[{:(" "CH_(3)),(" |"),(CH_(3)-C-I),(" |"),(" "CH_(3)):}]` since I is attached to a tertiary carbon atom which is attached to three carbon atoms.
