An antiseptic Dettol is a mixture of two compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’ where A has 6π electrons and B has 2π electrons. What is ‘B’?
- Bithionol
- Terpineol
- Chloroxylenol
- Chloramphenicol
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is(B): Terpineol.
Dettol is a mixture of chloroxylenol and terpineol. Chloroxylenol has 6π electrons and terpineol has 2π electrons.
Hence B is terpineol.

Concepts Used:
Coordination Compounds
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
Coordination entity:
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
Ligands:
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
