Which of the following is an organometallic compound?

Options

ACH ₃ COONa
BCH ₃ CH ₂ MgBr
C( CH ₃ COO )₂ Ca
DCH ₃ ONa

Correct answer

B. CH ₃ CH ₂ MgBr

Step-by-step solution

CH ₃ CH ₂ MgBr is considered as an organometallic compound because it contains a direct bond between a carbon atom and a metal atom (magnesium). Organometallic compounds contains at least one carbon-metal bond. They can participate in variety of reactions and often used as reagents or catalysts in organic synthesis.
