Match the List-I with List-II List-I (Chloro derivative) List-II (Example) A. Vinyl Chloride I. CH₂ = CH - CH₂Cl B. Benzyl chloride II. CH₃ = CH(Cl)CH₃ C. Alkyl chloride III. CH₂ = CHCl D. Allyl chloride IV. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- BA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- CA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
- DA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Correct answer
D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
Vinyl Chloride has Cl directly attached to a C=C double bond, matching III: CH₂=CHCl. Benzyl Chloride has CH₂Cl attached to a benzene ring, matching IV (benzene with CH₂Cl substituent). Alkyl Chloride is a general chlorine-substituted alkane, matching II: CH₂-CH(Cl)CH₃ (a standard secondary alkyl chloride). Allyl Chloride has CH₂Cl attached to the allylic position (adjacent to C=C), matching I: CH₂=CH-CH₂Cl. The correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
