NEET Chemistry (general) Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) CH3Br | (i) Faster SN2 reaction |
| (b) (CH3)3CCl | (ii) Slower SN2 reaction |
| (c) CH3I | (iii) Primary halide |
| (d) CH3Cl | (iv) Tertiary halide |
A
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
B
a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
C
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
D
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The SN2 reaction rate is influenced by the structure of the halide. Methyl bromide (CH3Br) reacts faster than tertiary halides like (CH3)3CCl, which are slower in SN2 reactions due to steric hindrance. Iodide (CH3I) is also more reactive than chlorides (CH3Cl).
