CH_(2)=CH^(-) is more basic than HC -= C^(-). Explain why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :`CH_(2) = overset(sp^(2))(C)H^(-) "" HC -= overset(sp)(C^(-))` Since, sp-CARBON is more electronegative than `sp^(2)`-carbon, therefore, `CH -= C^(-)` is less willing to DONATE a pair of electrons than `H_(2)C = CH^(-)`. In other words, `H_(2)C = CH^(-)` is more basic than `HC -= C^(-)`. |
