Alkyl halide reacts with sodium lead alloy, which of the following is the correct formula for tetramethyl lead?
Correct answer: B. (CH3)4Pb
- A. (C2H5)4Pb
- B. (CH3)4Pb
- C. (CH4)4Pb
- D. (CH2)4Pd
Explanation
The methyl group is represented by '-CH3'. The name of the compound, given in the question, highlights 4 methyl groups, thus (CH3)4 and a lead group. We can infer that the lead is the central atom, in this compound; hence, option B is the correct answer.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
