Question

The alkyl halide which does not give white precipitate with alcoholic AgNO₃ solution is :-

Options

• Ethyl chloride

• Ally's chloride

• Isopropyl chloride

• Chlorobenzene

Answer 1

Chlorobenzene

Explanation:

Because the electron lone pair of the chlorine atom is conjugated with the benzene ring in chlorobenzene, chlorine atoms participate in resonance, and chlorobenzene does not readily remove chloride ion, it does not give white precipitate with alcoholic silver nitrate.
