Answer 1

In the molecule C6H5-CH2-C6H5, the two hydrogen atoms of - CHg are​ replaced by a halogen.

Explanation:

• This is a haloform reaction in which the two hydrogen atoms of C6H5-CH2-C6H5 are replaced by halogen i.e. iodine.
• When the hydrogen atoms are replaced by iodine, then the molecule formed is C6H5I.
• This reaction takes place in an alkaline medium along with the hydrolysis reaction.
• In an alkaline medium, the reaction is further carried out to form acetic acid and iodoform.
