Answer:
Explanation:
The reaction of a metal with an organic halide is a convenient method for preparation of organometallic compounds of reasonably active metals such as lithium, magnesium, and zinc. Whereas magnesium and lithium react well with chlorides, bromides, and iodides, zinc is satisfactory only with bromides and iodides.

Organometallic compounds:
The chemical compounds with one bond between metallic element and carbon element is called organometallic compounds.
The bond is covalent in nature.
Preparation of organometallic:
- Halogen-Metal Exchange
- Displacement of One Metal by Another
- Organometallic Compounds with Metal Halides
- Organometallic Compounds from Acidic Hydrocarbons
Properties of organometallic:
- Organometallic compounds are highly electropositive metals, so they are used as reducing agent.
- They are volatile in nature and highly toxic.
- The compound with lithium and sodium undergo spontaneous reaction.
- Organometallic compounds are always in solid state.
