ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS
Alkanes are less reactive due to presence of sigma bond. In σ-bond, electrons are
tightly held between the nuclei which makes it very stable bond. A lot of energy is
required to break it. The electrons present in sigma bond can neither attack on
any electrophile nor nucleophile can attack on them. Both these facts make
alkanes less reactive.
18-What is Bayer’s test? Write its use. / Write equation to test unsaturation in
compound? / Write chemical equation when KMnO4 reacts with ethene.
Alkenes and alkynes reacts with 1% cold dilute KMnO4 solution. Discharging of
pink colour of KMNO4 indicates the presence of unsaturation of compound.
