Interpretation:
The structure of DDE is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms are called
These alkyl halides usually undergo substitution or addition reactions.
The electronegative atom is replaced by another atoms or group are referred as substitution reactions.
The electronegative atom is eliminated along with a hydrogen from adjacent carbon is called elimination reactions.
