A species having carbon with sextet of electrons and can act as electrophile is called
Updated On: Nov 20, 2024
- carbon free radical
- carbanion
- carbocation
- pentavalent carbon
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Carbocations have a carbon atom with a sextet of electrons, making them electron-deficient and capable of acting as electrophiles.

- Some CO\(_2\) gas was kept in a sealed container at a pressure of 1 atm and at 273 K. This entire amount of CO\(_2\) gas was later passed through an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)\(_2\). The excess unreacted Ca(OH)\(_2\) was later neutralized with 0.1 M of 40 mL HCl. If the volume of the sealed container of CO\(_2\) was \(x\), then \(x\) is ________________________ cm\(^3\) (nearest integer). [Given: The entire amount of CO\(_2\) reacted with exactly half the initial amount of Ca(OH)\(_2\) present in the aqueous solution.]
