Answer» `MgCl_(2)overset((aq))(to)MgCl^(2)+(aq)+2Cl^(-)(aq)`
`Mg^(2+)(aq)+underset((2xx96500C))(2e)^(-)toMg(s)` (At cathode)
`2xx29500C` of charge deposite MG metal =1mol
`9*65C` of charge deposite Mg metal `=((1mol))/((2xx96500C))xx(9*65C)=5xx10^(-5)mol`
`R-X+underset(1mol)(Mg)("Anhyd. ether")toR-underset(1mol)(MG)-X`
`therefore` No of moles of grignard reagent obtained `=5xx10^(-5)`mol.

`-overset(|) underset(|)C-Z to -overset(|) underset(|)C+Z^(-)`
In `CH_(3)^(+)`, the carbon atom is `sp^(2)`- hybridised , so the carbon atom used `sp^(2)` hybrid orbitals to form three `sigma` bonds. A empty p-orbital is symmetrically above and below the plane of three sigma bonds. This empty p-orbital makes the carbon atom electron-defincient (eelectrophile). The three `sp^(2)` hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a equilateral triangle. Hence, the shape of `CH_(3)^(+)` is likely to be planar.

Identify the products (A) and (B) in the reactions. `RX+AgCNtoul((A))+AgX` `RX+KCNtoul((A))+KX`A. (A)-RCN, (B)- RCNB. (A)-RCN, (B)-RNCC. (A)-RNC, (B)-RCND. (A)-RNC, (B)-RNC

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`RX+AgCN to underset((A))(RNC)+AgX`
`RX+KCNto underset((B))(RCN)+KX`
Both C and N can donate electron pairs. Since KCN is predominantly ionic and C - C bond is more stable than C - N bond in case of KCN, attack takes place through carbon atom.
AgCN is predominantly covalent hence only nitrogen pair is available for bonding resulting in formation of isocyanide.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The reaction is the cyanide ion is a reaonance hybride
`: overset(-)C=N: harr: C= overset(-)N: harr overset(delta-)C-=overset(delta-)N`
reasonating structure resonance hybride it is clear from the reasonating structure that the CN ion can attack the nucleophili through C was well as through, N, hence called ambident nucleophilie.
The KCN is ionic compound. Therefore both C and N atom are free to donate electron pair. Since C-C bond is relativity stronger stronger thatn C-N bond, hence attack forming alkyl cyanide. the AgCn is convalent covalent compound. Therefore in this case only nitrogem
