  • question_answer
    Which of the following is not formed by the reaction of \[C{{l}_{2}}\] on \[C{{H}_{4}}\] in sunlight [AIIMS 1987]

    A) \[CHC{{l}_{3}}\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}Cl\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{4}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{3}}Cl\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}\]                    \[CHC{{l}_{3}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}CC{{l}_{4}}\]. Since this reaction takes place by free radical mechanism. Hence, there is a possibility of formation of ethane.                    \[\underset{\text{Methyl free radicals}}{\mathop{\overset{.}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}+\overset{.}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}}}\,\to \underset{\text{Ethane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[C{{H}_{4}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{3}}Cl\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}\]                    \[CHC{{l}_{3}}\xrightarrow{C{{l}_{2}}}CC{{l}_{4}}\]. Since this reaction takes place by free radical mechanism. Hence, there is a possibility of formation of ethane. \[\underset{\text{Methyl free radicals}}{\mathop{\overset{.}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}+\overset{.}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}}}\,\to \underset{\text{Ethane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
