CATALYSIS (section 14.7)
When reacts with ethylene
in the presence of a finely divided catalyst, ethane with two deuteriums,
, is formed. (Deuterium,
, is an isotope of hydrogen of mass 2 ). Very little ethane forms in which two deuteriums are bound to one carbon (for example,
). Use the sequence of steps involved in the reaction (Figure
) to explain why this is so.
