  • In which of the following compounds the carbon marked with asterisk is expected to have greatest positive charge?

In which of the following compounds the carbon marked with asterisk is expected to have greatest positive charge?
(i) ^{\ast}CH_{3} -CH_{2}-Cl
(ii) ^{\ast}CH_{3} -CH_{2}-Mg^{+}Cl^{-}
(iii) ^{\ast}CH_{3} -CH_{2}-Br
(iv) ^{\ast}CH_{3} -CH_{2}-CH_{3}

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i) ^{\ast}CH_{3} -CH_{2}-Cl

Explanation: Order of electronegativity is as follows: Cl > Br > C > Mg. The more electronegative group attached to the C will give a more positive charge. Therefore, in (i) case, asterisk C will have the greatest positive charge.
