Match the List-I with List-II chloro derivative examples
Q. Match the List-I with List-II
List-I
Chloro derivative
List-II
Example
A. Vinyl Chloride I. CH₂ = CH – CH₂Cl
B. Benzyl Chloride II. CH₃ – CH(Cl)CH₃
C. Alkyl Chloride III. CH₂ = CHCl
D. Allyl Chloride IV. C₆H₅ – CH(Cl) – CH₃

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

(B) A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

(C) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

(D) A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Correct Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Explanation

Vinyl chloride has chlorine directly attached to an sp² carbon of a double bond. Its formula is CH₂ = CHCl, which corresponds to III.

Benzyl chloride has chlorine attached to a carbon next to a benzene ring. The given structure C₆H₅ – CH(Cl) – CH₃ represents benzyl-type substitution, corresponding to IV.

Alkyl chloride contains chlorine attached to a saturated sp³ carbon atom. CH₃ – CH(Cl)CH₃ is an alkyl chloride, corresponding to II.

Allyl chloride has chlorine attached to a carbon adjacent to a double bond. CH₂ = CH – CH₂Cl represents allyl chloride, corresponding to I.

Thus, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
