Question
Which of the following statements is true?
A.
Soda lime is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
B.
Methane can be prepared by Wurtz reaction.
C.
In alkanes all carbon atoms are $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised.
D.
$$neo$$ - Pentane yields three different monochloro derivatives.
Answer :
In alkanes all carbon atoms are $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised.
Solution :
Soda lime is a mixture of $$NaOH$$ and $$CaO.$$ Methane cannot be obtained by wurtz reaction. The lowest hydrocarbon prepared by Wurtz reaction is ethane.
$$neo$$ - Pentane yields only one monochloro product.
