Step by step solution

01

Structure of DDE

The full form of DDE is dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane. It is highly toxic for insects and used to kill them for the growth of plants. The structure of it is given as,

DDE, a compound formed as a result of elimination of HCl from DDT, are not water soluble. Therefore, they accumulate in the fatty tissues of birds and fish and can be passed up the food chain.
