JEE Main Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II List-I (Chloro derivative) List-II (Example) A. Vinyl Chloride I. CH_2 = CH - CH_2Cl B. Benzyl chloride II. CH_3 = CH(Cl)CH_3 C. Alkyl chloride III. CH_2 = CHCl D. Allyl chloride IV. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  2. B. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
  3. C. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
  4. D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

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.
