Whilst Et₃CCl is unreactive towards water even at elevated temperatures, Et₃SiCl is hydrolyzed rapidly. Explain the origin of these differences and provide a reaction scheme with mechanistic details for the hydrolysis of Et₃SiCl.

See Explanation

Explanation:

In discussing the reason why Et₃SiCl is more easily hydrolysed than Et₃CCl, we must remember that the electronegativity difference between silicon and chlorine is much higher than the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine.

As a result of this, the Si-Cl bond in Et₃SiCl is more polar and hence susceptible to attack by water than the C-Cl bond in Et₃CCl.

Also, it is postulated that the presence of vacant d orbitals on silicon assists hydrolysis in Et₃SiCl. Such vacant orbitals are absent in carbon hence Et₃CCl does not undergo hydrolysis.

The reaction scheme is shown in the image attached to this answer.

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
