How many isomeric vicinal-dihalides are possible for the compound having molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) ?
- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In vicinal-dihalides, the two \(-\mathrm{Cl}\) atoms are present at adjacent positions. In case of \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) only one such structure is possible. Hence, only one vicinal-dihalide is possible for \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\).
