NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
Identify the most stable species in the following set of ions giving reasons : ⊖ CH 3 , ⊖ CH 2 Cl, ⊖ CHCl 2 , ⊖ CCl 3
Options
- A⊖ CCl 3 is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by c
- B⊖ CHCl 2 is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by
- C⊖ CH 2 Cl is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by
- D⊖ CH 3 is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by ch
Correct answer
A. ⊖ CCl 3 is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by c
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) ⊖ CCl 3 is most stable because electronegativity of chlorine is more than hydrogen. On replacing hydrogen by chlorine, negative charge on carbon is reduced and species is stabilised.
