Solution
The correct option is DCH3−Cl+CH2=CH2→CH4+CH2=CHCl An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy through light or heat. The enthalpy change for such reactions is usually negative.
CH3−Cl+CH2=CH2⟶CH4+CH2=CH−Cl
This reaction is not an exothermic reaction as it involves reaction of an alkene to chloromethyl which leads to formation of methane.
