In `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`, the bond that undegoes heterolytic clevage most readily is:

A

`C-C`

B

`C-O`

C

`C-H`

D

`O-H`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If we carefully notic a reaction between ethanol and sodium metal we find that alcohols behave as acids when reacted with active metals causing cleavage of the `O-H` bond and displacing hydrogen gas from the alcohol as shown in the reaction given: `C_(2)H_(5)OH+Na rarr C_(2)H_(5)ONa+1/2 H_(2)`
