How does the location of the electron charge cloud in a π bond affect its reactivity?
Options
- AIt decreases reactivity.
- BIt has no effect on reactivity.
- CIt makes electrons less available to attacking reagents.
- DIt makes electrons easily available to attacking reagents.
Correct answer
D. It makes electrons easily available to attacking reagents.
Step-by-step solution
The location of the electron charge cloud above and below the plane of the bonding atoms results in the electrons being easily available to attacking reagents.
