Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given set of alkyl halides the alkyl halide capable of forming Grignard reagent has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

  • Organometallic compound it can be defined as the compound which contain Carbon – Metal bond.
  • The carbon attached to the halogen in an alkyl halide is an electrophile, whereas the carbon attached to the metal in an organometallic compound is a nucleophile.
  • Sodium Hydride (NaH) :

    Sodium hydride is the chemical compound with the empirical formula NaH.

    This is a alkali metal hydride is primarily used as a strong yet combustible base in organic synthesis.

  • Grignard reagent:

    The compound that results when magnesium is inserted between the carbon atom and the halogen of an alkyl halide like RMgBr & RMgCl

In intercalation compounds, their sheets can be neutral or have a negative or positive charge, depending on the nature of the incorporated species and its structure. Is this statement correct?
This thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states.  What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?
