Detailed Solution

Step 1: Define vinylic halide

A vinylic halide is a compound where the halogen (X) is directly attached to an sp2sp^2 hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (\ceC=C\ce{C=C}).

Step 2: Analyze each option

  • Option (a): Shows a cyclohexene ring with X attached to one of the sp2sp^2 carbons of the double bond. This is a vinylic halide.
  • Option (b): Shows benzene with a \ceCH2X\ce{-CH2X} side chain. The halogen is on an sp3sp^3 carbon (benzylic position), not vinylic.
  • Option (c): Shows benzene with X directly attached to the aromatic ring. This is an aryl halide, not vinylic.
  • Option (d): Shows cyclohexane (no double bond) with X attached. This is an alkyl halide, not vinylic.

Step 3: Conclusion

Only option (a) has the halogen attached to an sp2sp^2 carbon of a \ceC=C\ce{C=C} double bond.

Answer: (a)

Key Points:

  • Vinylic halide: X on sp2sp^2 carbon of \ceC=C\ce{C=C}
  • Aryl halide: X on aromatic ring
  • Benzylic halide: X on carbon adjacent to aromatic ring
  • Alkyl halide: X on sp3sp^3 carbon
