1.	What are ogranometallic compounds ? Give one example. Explain the nature of carbon-metal bond.
Answer» Solution :(i) Organometallic compounds are organic compounds in which there is a direct CARBON-metal bond. (ii) EXAMPLE : `CH_3MgI`, METHYL magnesium iodide. (iii) The carbon - magnesium bond in Grignard reagent is covalent but highly polar. The carbon atom is more electronegative than magnesium. HENCE, the carbon atom has partial negative charge and magnesium atom has a partial positive charge. `overset(delta-)R..................overset(delta+)(MgX)`
