An element is a substance that can't be broken down further. Lithium (Li) and calcium (Ca) are examples of elements.
Carbon monoxide (CO) and potassium bromide (KBr) are examples of compounds, which are made up of more than one element put together.
Answer:
Structures are given below.
Explanation:
- Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol will give elimination of HBr through E2 mechanism.
- H atoms adjacent to Br will be eliminated.
- 2-bromo-2-methylbutane has two possible adjacent H atoms that can be eliminated giving mixture of products.
- Product of this elimination reaction is alkene. Here saytzeff fule is followed during elimination. So most substituted alkene will be major product.
- Structure of alkenes are given below.
