Let us learn about carbanion
A species which contains a carbon atom carrying a negative charge is said to be as carbanion. Carbanions are generated by the heterolytic fission of covalent bond involving carbon atom, where the atom linked to carbon goes away without the bonding electrons. This causes the carbon to acquire a negative charge. The best example, discharge of hydrogen of methyl part of acetaldehyde molecule as H+ ion leaving both the electrons on carbon.
An anion in which carbons carry a negative charge & an unshared pair of electrons is called as carbanion.
In our next blog we shall learn about equilibrium reactions I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
