Why is tertiary amine more stable than ethanol?
Tertiary amines have alkyl groups around the central atom (nitrogen) while ethanol has hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group around the carbon atoms. As a result, ethanol is more prone to attack by other groups while in tertiary amines, stearic hindrance doesn't allow attack of incoming groups. So, tertiary amines are more stable than ethanol.
What is the hybridization of an alkyl free radical?
the hybrdization of allyl radical carbon is sp2 which overlaps with the p orbitals of the alkene
In a tertiary alcohol how many alkyl groups are attached to the carbon atom bonded to the -OH group?

Why aryl diazonium salt are more stable then alkyl diazonium salt?
The reason is that the aryl group is able to stabalize the diazonium salt through resonance, while the alkyl group may not be resonance stabalized.
Is it possible for an alkyl halide to undergo sn1 and also sn2 reactions?
Yes an alkyl halide can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions - it just depends on what kind of alkyl halide it is. Methyl halides such as CH3Br/CH3Cl/CH3I, etc. are most suitable for Sn2 reactions because they are less sterically hindered by R-groups (they are not "bulky"). This allows for easy attack by the nucleophile. Primary alkyl halides (RCH2X) are also most suitable for Sn2 because of the same reason above Secondary alkyl halides can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, this depends on other factors such as solvent and leaving group and nucleophile. If the solvent is polar aprotic, the reaction will go Sn2, if polar protic - Sn1. Tertiary alkyl halides (alkyl halides with 4 r-groups) do not go Sn2 because they are bulky and the R-groups stabilize the carbocation by hyperconjugation and inductive effect.
Why tertiary alkyl halides do not undergo wurtz reaction?
The Wurtz reaction is not suitable for tertiary alkyl halides due to side reaction involving elimintaion reactions.

Why tertiary alcohol reacts with metallic sodium less rapidly than primary alcohol?
Tertiary alcohols have a bulky alkyl group bonded to the carbon atom that carries the hydroxyl group. This bulky group hinders the approach of the sodium atom, making the reaction less rapid. In contrast, primary alcohols have a smaller alkyl group and allow for easier access and reaction with metallic sodium.
What is the hybridization of an alkyl free radical?
the hybrdization of allyl radical carbon is sp2 which overlaps with the p orbitals of the alkene
What is an aralkyl?
An aralkyl is a univalent radical derived from an alkyl radical by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms by aryl groups.
What is an alkylamino?
An alkylamino is a group or radical which contains both an alkyl and an amino group.
What is an arylalkylamine?
An arylalkylamine is a secondary or tertiary amine which has both an alkyl and an aryl group connected to the nitrogen atom.
In a tertiary alcohol how many alkyl groups are attached to the carbon atom bonded to the -OH group?

Which is most stable N-butyl sec-butyl t-butyl?
If u are referring to the carbocations of n-butyl, sec-butyl, and t-butyl, the most stable is the one that has the most alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon atom. In this case: - n-butyl has only 1 alkyl group attached - sec-butyl has 2 alkyl groups attached - t-butyl has 3 alkyl groups attached Therefore, t-butyl is the most stable carbocation
What is an alkoxy?
An alkoxy is any univalent radical R-O- or anion R-O-, where R is an alkyl group.
