What are Grignard reagents? Discuss the use of Grignard reagent in the

preparation of 1°-, 2°-and 3°-alcohols​

Grignard reagents are used synthetically to form new carbon–carbon bonds. A Grignard reagent has a very polar carbon–magnesium bond in which the carbon atom has a partial negative charge and the metal a partial positive charge.

Grignard reaction with aldehydes and ketones

To produce a primary alcohol, the Grignard reagent is reacted with formaldehyde. Reacting a Grignard reagent with any other aldehyde will lead to a secondary alcohol. Finally, reacting a Grignard reagent with a ketone will generate a tertiary alcohol.

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.

the answer is c.the valence of the atoms combine .
