Question
Chapter 20, Problem 22A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which involve single bonded carbon atoms.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 22A
Because in alkanes, carbon atoms are joined by single bond.
Explanation of Solution
Alkanes have C-C and C-H bonds. Both the bonds are relatively strong bonds. These bonds are difficult to break. Thus at low temperatures, alkane are unreactive.
At very high temperature, alkanes react with some of halogens breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds and cracking of alkanes into its smaller alkanes.
Conclusion
Thus, alkanes are relatively unreactive hydrocarbons.

For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫ the terms primary, secondary and tertiary have different meanings when applied to amines than they do when applied to alcohols. • a tertiary amine is one that is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom (one with three C atoms bonded to it). • simple five-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyrrole) are typically more electron rich than benzene. ⚫ simple six-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyridine) are typically more electron rich than benzene. • pyrrole is very weakly basic because protonation anywhere on the ring disrupts the aromaticity. • thiophene is more reactive than benzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • pyridine is more reactive than nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of pyridine is part of the pi system.arrow_forward
