Question

The carbanions are very reactive species although their central carbon atom possesses an octet.
Give reason :​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbanion is the intermediate compound in which central carbon atom carries negative charge and it possess unshared pair of electrons and bears a negative charge usually with three substituents for a total of eight valence electrons. Hence possesses octet of electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

Carbanion => Anions whose carbon atom is tetravalent ,i.e it forms three bonds but has a negative charge too.

Reason => The carbon atom has a Total of 8 electrons in which 6 electrons are used in bond formation and the rest is lone pair.

During heterolytic fission of carbon and hydrogen bond they aquire a negative charge.

so as to make it stable , the negative charge should be removed from the carbon atom.

But due to +I effect and hyperconjugation the electron density increases on the negatively charged carbon atom.

Thus, making it unstable and reactive.
