Which among the following is haloalkyne?
Options
- ACH ₃- CH ₂- CH = CH - X
- BCH ₃- C C - CH ₂- X
- CCH C - CH ₂- CH ₂- X
- DCH ₃- CH ₂- C C - X
Correct answer
D. CH ₃- CH ₂- C C - X
Step-by-step solution
A haloalkyne is a compound that contains both a halogen (X) and a triple bond (alkyne group, C C ). Let's analyze the given options: - (A) CH ₃- CH ₂- CH = CH -X : This is a haloalkene, not a haloalkyne. The structure has a double bond ( C = CH ) , not a triple bond ( C C ) . Therefore, this is not a haloalkyne. - (B) CH ₃- C C - CH ₂- X : This is a haloalkyne. It contains a triple bond ( C C ) between carbon atoms and a halogen ( X ) attached to a carbon. This matches the definition of a haloalkyne. - (C) CH C - C
