Grignard reagent is reactive due to:
Correct answer: B. The polarity of C - Mg bond
- A. The presence of halogen atom
- B. The polarity of C - Mg bond
- C. The presence of Mg atom
- D. The polarity of C - X bond
Explanation
Grignard reagents are reactive due to the polarity of the carbon-magnesium (C-Mg) bond. The presence of a polarized C-Mg bond imparts nucleophilic characteristics to the carbon atom, making it highly reactive in various chemical reactions. Therefore, option b is correct. Therefore, option b is correct.

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.
