Question

For the following molecule

Consider the following statement, if π - electron cloud of C₁ – C₂ is present in the plane of paper

(i) Fluorine is perpendicular to the plane of paper

(ii) Clorine is present in the plane of paper

(iii) Nodal plane of $π$ electron cloud of $C_{2} - C_{3}$ is in plane of paper

(iv) Nodal plane of $π$ -electron cloud of $C_{3} - C_{4}$ and $C_{1} - C_{2}$ are in the plane of chlorine atom.

Select the correct option :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(I) Fluorine perpendicular → (wrong orientation due to alternation)
(II) Chlorine in plane → (does not match given reference plane)
(III) Nodal plane of C₂–C₃ in plane → correct
(IV) Nodal planes of C₃–C₄ and C₁–C₂ same plane (Cl plane) → correct
