Compounds which readily undergo hydrolysis are

A

`C C l_(4)`

B

`BCl_(3)`

C

`SiCl_(4)`

D

`CF_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
`BCl_(3)` and `SiCl_(4)` have vacant orbital of suitable energy to accept a pair of electron from `H_(2)O` molecule and thus easily undergo hydrolysis whereas in `C Cl_(4)` and `CF_(4)` due to the absence of low lying d-orbitals, hydrolysis is not possible.
`BCl_(3) + 3H_(2)O rarr B(OH)_(3) + 3HCl`
`SiCl_(4)+4H_(2)O rarr H_(4) SiO_(4) + 4HCl`
