JEE PYQ: P Block Elements Question 64
Question 64 - 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2)
Which one of the following is likely to give a precipitate with $\text{AgNO}_3$ solution?
(1) $\text{CH}_2 = \text{CH} - \text{Cl}$
(2) $\text{CCl}_4$
(3) $\text{CHCl}_3$
(4) $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{CCl}$
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution
Carbocation is formed on reaction with Ag$^+$. $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}^+$ is most stable carbocation compared to other carbocation i.e. $\text{CH}_2 = \text{CHCl}_2$, $\text{CCl}_3$.
