Question

Why is ch3 more +I than c2-

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkyl halides are more reactive than alkanes.Due to presence of C-X bond in alkyl halide , they undergo inductive effect.

t- butyl chloride (tertiary halide ) is more reactive than methyl  chloride because + I effect of three methyl groups increases the -I effect of -Cl atom by repelling  electrons  towards tertiary C- atom.
