Question

The heteroatoms present in $C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}OC{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}Cl$ are :
(i) oxygen
(ii) carbon
(iii) hydrogen
(iv) chlorine

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (ii) and (iii)
• C. (iii) and (iv)
• D. (i) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) and (iv)

In organic chemistry, heteroatoms are the ones which are not carbon or hydrogen.

In $C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}OC{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}Cl$, the heteroatoms are oxygen and chlorine.

Option D is correct.
