Number of bromo derivatives obtained on treating ethane with excess of Br 2 in diffused sunlight is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Correct answer
9
Step-by-step solution
A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction during which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group.The number of different substitution products possible when ethane is allowed to react with bromine in sunlight are 9 . CH 3 - CH 3 + Br 2 → sunlight CH 3 - CH 2 Br + CH 2 Br - CH 2 Br + CH 2 Br - CHBr 2 + CHBr 2 - CHBr 2 + CBr 3 - CBr 3 + CH 3 - CHBr 2 + CH 3 - CBr 3 + CH 2 Br - CBr 3 + CHBr 2 - CBr 3 6 Bromine atoms: 1 product possible 5 Bromine atoms : 1 product po
