Q. 52.In carbylamine reaction (1) The nucleophile is RNH2 and electrophile is CCl2 (2) The nucleophile is primary amine and electrophile is CCl3 negative (3) The nucleophile is CCl3 negative and the electrophile is primary amine (4) The attacking reagent is electrophile

Q. Alkenes and alkynes both undergo electrophilic addition because of

π

electron density, they behave as electron rich species. Alkenes are more reactive towards this reaction because the intermediate formed when an electrophile adds to an alkyne is a vinylic cation whereas the intermediate formed when an electrophile adds to alkene is alkyl cation, which is more stable.
