Organometallic Compounds of s- and p- block elements

Organometallic compounds have a minimum of one bond between a metal compound and a carbon atom. Metalloid elements such as silicon, tin, and boron form organometallic compounds which can be utilized in a few commercial chemical reactions.

Question 8
(a) Neat diethylzinc, Et₂Zn, is a liquid with a melting point of -28°C while EtZnBr, EtLi, and Et2Mg
are all solids at room temperature.
Provide a possible explanation for this.
(b) Neat Et2Zn is pyrophoric and spontaneously ignites in air. Can you explain why this would
happen?
(c) In contrast, the heavy metal organometallic equivalents Et₂Hg and Et4Pb, while both liquids, are
completely stable in air and water. Can you provide a reason why this is the case?
