Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the structure of Bithionol.
Bithionol is a bisphenol compound with two aromatic rings connected via a sulfur atom. Each aromatic ring has:
- One \(-OH\) group (phenol type)
- Two \(-Cl\) atoms (chloro substituents)
Step 2: Count functional groups.
- Total \(-OH\) groups = 2
- Total \(-Cl\) groups = 4 Hence, the correct answer is (4) 2, 4.
