How many Carbon Atoms are there on the PRODUCT SIDE

There are 6 carbon atoms on the product side.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Species present on the left side of an arrow in a chemical equation depicts the reactants.

Species present on the right side of an arrow in a chemical equation depicts the products.

Hence, products in the given reaction equation are and .

Therefore, there are 6 carbon atoms present on the product side.

Thus, we can conclude that there are 6 carbon atoms on the product side.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

the correct answer to this question is 2
