NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3hx075

$CH X_{3} MgBr$ reacts with water to form

A $C X_{2} H X_{6}$
B $CH X_{4}$
C $CH X_{3} OH$
D $CH X_{3} Br$

Answer: B

The

C - Mg

bond is highly polar with carbon as a carbanion, so

CH X_{3} MgBr

takes a proton from water:

CH X_{3} MgBr + H X_{2} O CH X_{4} + Mg (OH) Br

. The product is methane.
