A- PHENOL
B- ALCOHOL
C- METHANOL
D- THIOALCOHOL

Answer 1

Alkyl halides react with potassium hydrogen sulphide to form thioalcohol.

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

• An alkyl halide consists of an alkyl group and a halide.
• For example, CH3Cl is an alkyl halide. It consists of methyl and chlorine.
• When an alkyl halide reacts with alcoholic potassium hydrogen sulphide then an alkanethiol is formed.
• Thiols are the derivatives of the sulfide groups and their general formula is R-SH.
