Question

Which of the following statements is true?

• A. Soda lime is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
• B. Methane can be prepared by Wurtz reaction.
• C. In alkanes all carbon atoms are $sp^{3}$hybridized
• D. Neo-Pentane yields three different monochloro derivatives.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In alkanes all carbon atoms are $sp^{3}$hybridized

Answer 2

: Soda lime is a mixture of NaOH and CaO. Methane cannot be obtained by Wurtz reaction. The lowest hydrocarbon prepared by Wurtz reaction is ethane. Neo-pentane yields only one monochloro product.
