Question

The number of geminal dihalides possible with the formula $C_3{H}_{6}B{r}_2$ is:

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2

$C_3{H}_{6}B{r}_2$

Geminal dihaldes is 2 halides on same carbon.

$H_{3}C-\stackrel{Br}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{Br}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-C{H}_3$ $H_{3}C-C{H}_2-\underset{Br}{\underset{|}{\stackrel{Br}{\stackrel{|}{CH}}}}$
