AP EAMCET · Chemistry · Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Assertion (A) : I- Bromopentane reacts with \(\mathrm{AgCN}\) to give pentylisocyanide
Reason (R): \(\mathrm{AgCN}\) is mainly ionic in nature

  1. A A is true, \(\mathrm{R}\) is true and \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct explanation of \(\mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{A}\) is true, \(\mathrm{R}\) is true but \(\mathrm{R}\) is not correct explanation of A
  3. C \(A\) is true, \(R\) is false
  4. D A is false, \(R\) is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) is true, \(R\) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{AgCN}\) is covalent in nature. Thats why haloalkane produces isocyanide compound with \(\mathrm{AgCN}\) and cyanide compound with \(\mathrm{KCN}\).
