Q.CCl4
does not undergo hydrolysis but SiCl4
undergoes hydrolysis easily. Explain.
Answers
Answer
SiCl4 has a larger central atom than CCl4 , which makes more vulnerable to attack in hydrolysis.The differing rates of hydrolysis are attributed to the greater atomic radius of the silicon atom allowing attack at silicon, and to the polar nature of the Si-Cl bonds favoring nucleophilic attack.
SiCl4 also has a chance because it can expand its octet and react unlike CCl4.
SiCl4+ 2H2O ——→ SiO2 + 4HCl
