Answer 1

what?.................................

Answer 2

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• The elimination reaction is defined as the type of reactions which occur to form an unsaturation in the molecule.

• Here the compounds given are all chloroalkanes.

• The chloroalkanes or the haloalkanes undergo elimination reaction by means of formation of carbocations.

• The stability of carbocations are in the order of 3° >2° >1°.

• So the 3°carbocation is formed as chlorine is eliminated from 2 chloro 2 methyl propane.

• So 2 chloro 2 methyl propane will undergo elimination most readily.
