Alkanes are inert is nature, why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Alkanes are quite inert substances with highly stable nature. Their inactiveness has been explained as: (i) Alkanes have all the `C-C` and `C-H` bons being stronger a bonds and are not INFLUENCED by acid, oxidants under ordinary CONDITIONS. (II) The `C-C` bond is completely non polaar and `C-H` is weak polar. Thus polar species i.e. electrophiles or NUCLEOPHILES are unable to attack these bonds under ordinary conditions. |
