Which type of intermediate (1) is formed during the reaction?

CH3CH2−N=N−CH2CH3→Heat(A)+N2CH_{3}CH_{2} - N = N - CH_{2}CH_{3}\overset{\quad Heat\quad}{\rightarrow}(A) + N_{2}

A

Carbocation

B

Carbanion

C

Free radical

D

Carbene

Answer

Free radical

Explanation

Solution

: CH3CH2−N=N−CH2CH3→HeatCH_{3}CH_{2} - N = N - CH_{2}CH_{3}\overset{\quad Heat\quad}{\rightarrow} 2CH3C.H2Freeradical+N2\underset{Freeradical}{2CH_{3}\overset{.}{C}H_{2}} + N_{2}
