$CH_3CONH_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Sodium metal reacts with compounds containing acidic hydrogen atoms to release hydrogen gas. Among the given options,$CH_3CONH_2$ (acetamide) contains an acidic hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the adjacent carbonyl group. The reaction is: $CH_3CONH_2 + Na 	o CH_3CONH^-Na^+ + \frac{1}{2}H_2$ Primary and secondary amines like $(CH_3)_2NH$,$CH_3NH_2$,and $C_6H_5NH_2$ are much less acidic and do not react with sodium metal under normal conditions to release $H_2$ gas.
