Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Definition of an organometallic compound

Organic compounds that comprise a carbon-metal (C-M) bond in their structures are organometallic compounds.They are polar. Grignard reagents and organolithium fall into such categories.

02

Function of an organometallic compound

They act both as a nucleophile and as a base. But when water is added, they act as a base by abstracting a proton from water.
