Question

What is protonic and non-protonic solvents?

Answer 1

the solvents which readily contains protons(H+) are called protonic solevents and those that do not contain protons are called non protonic solvents

Answer 2

Protonic solvents are those that readily contain protons $H^{+}$, while non-protonic solvents are those that do not contain protons.

What are Protonic solvents?

• A protic solvent is one in which a hydrogen atom is attached to an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluoride atom. Any solvent that contains a labile H is referred to as a protic solvent.
• Water and lower alcohols like methanol and ethanol are common protic solvents in electrochemistry.

What are Non-Protonic solvents?

• Non-Protonic Solvents are those that do not contain any ionizable hydrogen atoms.
• Strong bases, such as Grinard reagents and n-butyllitium, are incompatible with polar aprotic solvents.
