Question

Why is dry hydrohalogen acid jas stronger electrophiles than aqueous hydrohalogen acidd?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Formation of complexes by transition element in zero oxidation states is supported by synergic bond .The metal -carbon bond in metal carbonyl possess both s and p character .The M-C sigma bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of the metal .The M-C bond is ...

Answer 2

Because the chloride ion is a weaker nucleophile than bromide or iodide ions, hydrogen chloride does not react with primary or secondary alcohols unless zinc chloride or a similar Lewis acid is added to the reaction mixture as well.
