MCQ
Which among the given haloalkanes develop colour when exposed to light?
  • A
    R−Br and R−Cl
  • B
    R−I and R−F
  • C
    R−Cl and R−Br
  • D
    R−Br and R−I

Answer

  1. R−Br and R−I

Explanation:

As we progress down the periodic table from fluorine to iodine, molecular size increases. As a result, we also see an increase in bond length.

As the bond length increases, upon irradiation of light, after absorption the compound emit light in visible region. Hence, R-Br and R-I bond exhibit color when exposed to light.
