CCl2F2
CH4

Answer 1

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

It is known that elements of group 17 are halides. These include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

Therefore, a molecule that includes any halide group along with hydrocarbon is known as a halide molecule.

Thus,we can conclude that out of the following options
`CH_(4)` is not a halide hydrocarbon.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer would be CH4. It is the compound among the group that does not fall under the halide hydrocarbon group. CH4 does not contain any halogen as compared to the other. Hope this answers the question.
