Why "CCl"_(4) is resistantto hydrolysisbut SiCl_(4) is readily hydrolysed? |
| Answer» Solution :Due to presenceof vacantd-orbitals in Si, `SiCl_(4)`accepts a lone pair of electronsdonatedby `H_(2)O` moleculeand hence UNDERGOES hydrolysis. Howoverdue to absence of d-orbitalsin `C, "CC"l_(4)` cannot a accepta pair of ELECTRONS from water moleculesand hence does notundergohydrolysis. | |
