may some body plz answer this question for me ?
any explaination is greatly appreciated
"Briefly explain why 2-bromopropane is the main product rather than 1-bromopropane in the reaction of HBr with propene"

http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_s04_qp_4.pdf Q2c(i) i get the answer but cant we state the size of carbon atom being smaller than silicon as a valid reason

Yes in a sense you can, however the better reason will be that C does not have empty D orbitals. just remember this one line statement it won't kill you :p


This my friend is indeed a good question. I would like to know the answer to this as well.. lol How can we determine the Ea? does endothermic reaction show high Ea reactions? or is it the magnitude? no clue.

I think the answer to this comes from the fact that reaction 1 needs to be heated to a higher temperature.. yaar wo AS wala jo tha.. Boltzman Temeperature wala # of particles/energy graph. Increasing temperature increases the number of particles with enough activation energy.
