Question

Which of the following is a gem-dihalide? (A) CH 3 CHBr 2 (B) CH 2 Br ⋅ CH 2 Br (C) CHBr = CHBr (D) CH 3 ⋅ CHBr ⋅ CHBr ⋅ CH 3

In gem-dihalide, both the halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom while in vic-dihalide both the halogen atoms are present on adjacent carbon atoms. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/71895db3a440a8dbc762aa69f1afcdf9-.png" />

Q. Which of the following is a gem-dihalide?

$C H_{3} C H B r_{2}$

$C H_{2} B r \cdot C H_{2} B r$

$C H B r = C H B r$

$C H_{3} \cdot C H B r \cdot C H B r \cdot C H_{3}$

In gem-dihalide, both the halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom while in vic-dihalide both the halogen atoms are present on adjacent carbon atoms.

Q. Which of the following is a gem-dihalide?

CH3​CHBr2​

CH2​Br⋅CH2​Br

CHBr=CHBr

CH3​⋅CHBr⋅CHBr⋅CH3​

In gem-dihalide, both the halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom while in vic-dihalide both the halogen atoms are present on adjacent carbon atoms.

$C H_{3} C H B r_{2}$

$C H_{2} B r \cdot C H_{2} B r$

$C H B r = C H B r$

$C H_{3} \cdot C H B r \cdot C H B r \cdot C H_{3}$
