Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

The following figure shows the energy profile of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Potential energy :ÖH H HII.C H C-1 H HO--C---I HH Reaction coordinate H -CH HO–CHITH H + 1 According to this, it is correct to affirm: O The activation energy (4G°) shows that it is thermodynamically favorable. O Represents a reaction that occurs in one step where a pentavalent chemical species is formed. O The intermediate has lower energy than any transition state. O The formation of the intermediate releases energy and is therefore thermodynamically favourable.
