Options:

A) Chloroform is heavier than water

B) $ CCl_4 $ is non-inflammable

C) Vinyl chloride is more reactive than allyl chloride

D) $ B{r^{-}} $ is a good nucleophile as compared to $ {I^{-}} $

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Vinyl chloride is less reactive than allyl chloride due to resonance effect. Order of nucleophilicity amongst the halide ion are as $ {I^{-}}>B{r^{-}}>C{l^{-}} $ .
