Why alkanes are less reactive & also known as Paraffins?
WHY ALKANES ARE LESS REACTIVE ? Reasons of highly unreactiveness/Inertness of Alkane : Non polar C-C bond and C-H bond: The electronegativity of carbon (2.5) & hydrogen(2.1) do not differ appreciably.Therefore the bonding electrons between C-H & C-C are equally shared and bonds become non-polar.Therefore, ionic reagents find no place in the alkane molecule for reaction. Inertness …
