Question

$CH_3CH_2Cl$ undergoes homolytic fission produces

• A. CH_3\overset{ ??{C}H_2 and \overset{ ??{C}l
• B. $CH_3\overset{? }{C}H_2$ and $\overset{??}{C}l$
• C. $CH_3\overset{? }{C}H_2$ and $\overset{? }{C}l$
• D. $CH_3\overset{??}{C}H_2$ and $\overset{? }{C}l$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$CH_3\overset{? }{C}H_2$ and $\overset{??}{C}l$

Answer 2

$CH_{3}CH_{2}- \overset{?}{Cl} { ->[{\text{homolytic}}][{\text{fission}}]}CH_{3}\overset{?}{C}H_{2}+Cl^{-}$ Due to polarity of C - Cl bond and high electronegativity o f Cl with respect to carbon. Cl is detached with a pair o f electrons
