Which among the following examples of halogen derivatives does NOT correctly match with its type of compound?

A Halo alkane \(\quad: \quad\) Methyl chloride
B Allylic halide \(\quad: \quad\) 1-chloroethene
C Haloarene \(\quad: \quad\) Chlorobenzene
D Benzylic halide \(\quad: \quad\) Benzyl chloride

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Allylic halide \(\quad: \quad\) 1-chloroethene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{Cl}\) 1-chloroethene.
It is vinylic halide NOT allylic so, option B is incorrect.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
