Silanes gets hydrolysed by water whereas alkanes do not, why? |
| Answer» GETS hydrolysed by water whereas alkanes do not, why?Ans. Silanes, silicon analogues to the carbon alkane series, are less stable than alkanes because the silicon-silicon bond is not as strong or stable as the c-c bond in alkanes. The Si-O bond is very stable so it is EASY for Silicon to form oxides as the silanes BREAK down in water, i.e., as they are hydrolyzed.SO MARK AS BRAINIEST PLEASE. | |
