Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

When ethyl chloride is heated with AgCN then first there will be formation of carbocation and then there will be attack of eletrophile, that is, $CN^{-}$.

The chemical reaction for the same will be as follows.

Step 1: $CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl + AgCN \rightarrow CH_{3}CH_{2}^{+} + AgCl$

Step 2: $CH_{3}CH_{2}^{+} + NC^{-} \rightarrow CH_{3}CH_{2}NC$

That is, there will formation of ethyl isocyanide. Hence, the given statement is true.
