(A) Isooctane | (P) |
(B) Neopentane | (Q) |
(C) Ethylidene chloride (Geminal dihalide) | (R) |
(D) Ethylene Dichloride (Vicinal dihalide) | (S) |
| (T) |

Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
A → Q : Isooctane is common name of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, so it matches structure Q.
B → S : Neopentane has a central carbon attached to four methyl groups, matching structure S.
C → T : Ethylidene chloride is a geminal dihalide where both Cl atoms are on same carbon atom, so it matches T.
D → P : Ethylene dichloride is a vicinal dihalide with Cl atoms on adjacent carbons, therefore it matches P.
