Q5
Assertion :CH3−CH2I reacts more rapidly with strong base in comparison to CD3CH2I. Reason: The elimination of HI(or DI) in presence of strong base shows E2 elimination.The rate determining step involves breaking up of C−Hor (C−D) bond.The C−D bond being stronger than C−H and thus elimination is faster in case of CH3−CH2I.
