Why are halo alkanes more reactive than In haloarenes, there is double bond character
haloarenes? between carbon and halogen due to resonance
effect which makes it less reactive. (ii)In benzene,
carbon atom is sp2 hybridised which is shorter
than sp3 present in halo alkanes. Hence C-Cl bond
in aryl halides is shorter and stronger.
Why do halo alkanes undergo nucleophillic Due to more electro negative nature of halogen
substitution where as haloarenes undergo atom in halo alkanes carbon atom becomes
electophillic substitution. slightly positive and is easily attacked by
nucleophillic reagents. While in halo arenes due to
resonance, carbon atom becomes slightly negative
and attacked by electrophillic reagents.
When an alkyl halide is treated with ethanolic KCN is ionic they can attach through C or N but
solution of KCN, the major product is C-C bond is stronger than C-N bond. So RCN is
alkylcyanide where as if alkyl halide is treated major product. AgCN is covalent and so more
with AgCN, the major product is alkyl isocyanide. electro negative N can attach to C and forms iso
cyanides.
Aryl halides cannot be prepared by the action of Due to resonance the carbon-oxygen bond in
sodium halide on phenol in the presence H2SO4. phenol has partial double bond character and it is
Why? stronger than carbon oxygen single bond.
Grignard reagent should be prepared under Grignard reagent reacts with H2O (moisture) to
anhydrous conditions. Why? form alkanes, therefore they are prepared under an
hydrous condition.
Q6.Why is Sulphuric acid not used during the It is because HI formed will get oxidized to I2by
reaction of alcohols with KI? concentrated Sulphuric acid which is an oxidizing
agent.
p-dichloro benzene has higher m.p.than those of p-dichloro benzene is symmetrical, fits into
ortho and m-isomers.? crystal lattice more readily and has higher melting
point.
Although chlorine is an electron-with drawing Chlorobenzene is resonance hybrid, there is –ve
group, it is ortho and para directing in charge at ortho and parapositions, electro phallic
electrophillic aromatic substitution reactions. substitution reaction will takeplace at ortho and
Why? para position due to +R effect which dominating
over the –I effect
Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is
not. not: Ethylamine when added to water forms
intermolecular H−bonds with water. Hence, it is
soluble in water.
But
aniline does not undergo H−bonding with water to
a very large extent due to the presence of a large
hydrophobic−C6H5group. Hence, aniline is
insoluble in water.
Why do primary amines have higher boiling point In a molecule of tertiary amine, there are no
than tertiary amines? H−atoms where as in primary amines,two
hydrogen atoms are present . Due to the presence
of H−atoms, primary amines undergo extensive
intermolecular H−bonding. As a result, extra
energy is required to separate the molecules of
primary amines. Hence, primary amines have
higher boiling points than tertiary amines.
Why aliphatic amines stronger are bases than Due to the−R effect of the benzene ring, the
aromatic amines? electrons on the N-atom are less available in case
of aromatic amines. Therefore, the electrons on
the N-atom in aromatic amines cannot be donated
easily.This explains why aliphatic amines are
stronger bases than aromatic amines.
