Which of the following describes vicinal dihalides in organic chemistry?
A
Two halogen atoms attached to adjacent carbon atoms
B
Two halogen atoms attached to carbon atoms separated by a double bond
C
Two halogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom
D
Two halogen atoms attached to non-adjacent carbon atoms
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'vicinal dihalides': In organic chemistry, 'vicinal' refers to two substituents that are attached to adjacent atoms in a molecule.
Identify the structure of vicinal dihalides: These are compounds where two halogen atoms are attached to two adjacent carbon atoms in a carbon chain.
Analyze the given options: Look for the option that describes two halogen atoms attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
Eliminate incorrect options: Remove options that describe halogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom (geminal dihalides) or non-adjacent carbon atoms.
Select the correct description: Choose the option that correctly describes vicinal dihalides as having two halogen atoms on adjacent carbon atoms.
