The compound that will react most readily with gaseous bromine has the formula:

Options

A ${C}_{3}{H}_{6}$
B ${C}_{2}{H}_{2}$
C ${C}_{4}{H}_{10}$
D ${C}_{2}{H}_{4}$

Correct answer

A. ${C}_{3}{H}_{6}$

Step-by-step solution

In gaseous phase, bromine reacts with alkene by free radical allylic substitution reaction.

Here in the given molecules, ${C}_{3}{H}_{6}$ is the alkene as it has degree of unsaturation equals to one. Therefore, it will react readily with bromine in gaseous phase.
