...Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal. Since many compounds without such bonds are chemically similar, an alternative may be compounds containing metal-element bonds of a largely covalent character. Organometallic chemistry combines aspects of inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Read full entry

Why is the chemistry of the ( Hint: Compare the polarity
of the non-hydrogen to carbon
bonds to the ones in a
compound like tetraethyl lead,
(CH3CH2)4Pb. ) Thanks!

In an organic compound, carbon is typically bonded to other atoms of equal or greater electronegativity (C, H, N, P, O, S, F, Cl, Br, I) and as a result of this, it is positively polarized and electrophilic. In an organometallic compound, carbon is bonded to atoms with lower electronegativity, such as Li, Mg, Zn, Cd, etc. so it is negatively polarized and nucleophilic. (Lead is no exception.) |

This is not an organometallic compound, it is a coordination compound with the name dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine )palladium (II). good luck. |

Are the carbon-metal bonds in a.Tetraethyllead
b.Methylmagnesium chloride
c.Dimethylmercury
Can you also show the
direction of its polarity
please? Thnx!!!

All of these carbon-metal bonds are polar covalent because the difference in electronegativities is between 0.5 and 1.9 for all. In each case, carbon is the more electronegative element so it has the partial negative charge. To show the polarity directions: a.Write delta^- over CH2 of the ethyl group; delta^+ over the lead. b.Write delta^- over CH3; delta^+ over the magnesium. c.Write delta^- over the CH3; delta^+ over the mercury. |
