Question

What are vicinal and geminal dihalides

Answer 1

Treatment of a geminal dihalide (both halogens on the same carbon) or a vicinal dihalide (halogens on adjacent carbons) with a base such as sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) yields a vinylic halide.

Answer 2

Vicinal Di Halides are having halogens on the same carbon atom but the Geminal Di Halides are having halogens in adjacent carbon atoms of a Hydro Carbon.

Explanation:

• The hydro-carbon to which there will be two halogen atoms will be attached is considered as the Di-Halides.

• Here halogens may be F, Cl, Br, I and At.

• The Vicinal Di-Halides are the hydro-carbons to which two halogen atoms will be attached to the corresponding C atom in that Hydro-Carbon.

• Whereas the Geminal Di-Halides are the hydro-carbons to which two halogen atoms will be attached to the two neighboring C atoms of the Hydro-Carbon.
