Question

Example of ionic organometallic compounds

Answer 1

The metal-carbon bond in organometallic compounds is generally highly covalent. For highly electropositive elements, such as lithium and sodium, the carbon ligand exhibits carbanionic character, but free carbon-based anions are extremely rare, an example being cyanide.

Answer 2

Examples of Organometallic Compounds include Organolithium, Organomagnesium, Grignard reagent, Organocuprate, Organozinc, Organocadmium.

Explanation:

• The chemical compound contains at least one bond between a metallic element and a carbon atom which belongs to an organic molecule.
• It is an organic compound that contains carbon-metal bonds.

• Metalloid elements such as silicon, tin, and boron are known to form organometallic compounds
• They are used in some industrial chemical reactions.
• The organometallic compounds of alkali, alkaline earth metals, Lanthanides, and Actinides form ionic compounds.
• Common examples of Organometallic Compounds are Organolithium, Organomagnesium, Grignard reagent, Organocuprate, Organozinc, Organocadmium, etc.
