Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 46
Question: False statement is
[RPET 1999]
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
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^{-}} $ .
