Question
Explain geminal and vicinal dihalide with examples.
✓
Answer
→ When both the halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom, it is known as geminal dihalide.
→ In common name system, gem-dihalides are named as alkylidene halides
→ When halogen atoms are present on adjacent carbon atoms, it is known as vicinal dihalides.
→ In common name system, vic-dihalides are named as alkylene dihalides.
→ In common name system, gem-dihalides are named as alkylidene halides
→ When halogen atoms are present on adjacent carbon atoms, it is known as vicinal dihalides.
→ In common name system, vic-dihalides are named as alkylene dihalides.
