JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : '\( C-Cl \)' bond is stronger in \( CH_{2}=CH-Cl \) than \( CH_{3}-CH_{2}-Cl \)
Statement II : The given optically active molecule

on hydrolysis gives a solution that can rotate the plane polarized light.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- A Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- C Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- D Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement - I : C - Cl bond is strong in vinyl chloride because of double bond character. Statement - II : Racemic mixture is optically inactive, which can not rotate PPL.
