16. HYDROLYSIS OF CERTAIN HALIDES

16



HYDROLYSIS OF CERTAIN HALIDES



CHAPTER 16(15 Pages) deals with the mechanism of the hydrolysis of the halides of the elements, which lie in the heart of the periodic table such as B, C, Al, Si, P, S. This chapter explains why halides such as CF4, NF3, SF6 are inert, why SiCl4 undergoes hydrolysis readily in contrast to CCl4, why NCl3 and PCl3 do not yield the same product on hydrolysis and so on.
