Question

Which of the following compounds will not give a white precipitate with alcoholic AgNO3.
Options
A Bromobenzene
Correct Answer
B 1-Bromopropane
C Ethyl bromide
D 2-Bromopropane
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Bromobenzene (aryl bromide) does not give a white precipitate with alcoholic AgNO3 because the C-Br bond in aryl halides has partial double bond character and is not readily ionized. Alkyl bromides (1-bromopropane, ethyl bromide, 2-bromopropane) give AgBr precipitate.

Hint

Which type of bromide does not readily ionize?
