Why is an amide less reactive to nucleophilic acyl substitution than an acid chloride?

1 answer:

7 0

An amide is less reactive to nucleophilic acyl substitution than an acid chloride because more electron density is donated to the carbonyl by nitrogen.

<h3>What is electron density?</h3>

In quantum chemistry, electron density, also known as electronic density, is a metric for the likelihood that an electron will be found at a microscopic portion of space surrounding a specific point. The likelihood of finding an electron at a particular position near an atom or molecule is represented by electron density. In general, areas with a high electron density are where the electron is most likely to be located. The attractive forces between the electrons and the nuclei in a molecule are what hold the nuclei together in molecule, hence the electron density is essential to the bonding and geometry of a molecule. The repulsions between the nuclei and the electrons function as an antagonist to these attractive forces.

Which chemical element represents the most abundant “atoms of an element” found in air?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

The order of elements by volume-fraction (which is approximately molecular mole-fraction) in the atmosphere is nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable.

In a living organism, what is a tissue

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Tissue is a group of cells.

Explanation:

Human body tissue consists of groups of cells with a similar structure working together for a specific function.

Human body tissue is another way of describing how our cells are grouped together in a highly organized manner according to specific structure and function. These groupings of cells form tissues, which then make up organs and various parts of the body. For example, it's easy to see and feel muscle in the body. Muscle is one of the four types of human body tissue. In this lesson, learn more about the types of tissue and how each functions for a different purpose.

To measure the speed of a car, we use miles per hour (miles/hour or mi/h or mph). To measure the rate of a reaction we use molar

arsen [322]

Answer:

Part A: 47.8 mi/h

Part B: 0.072 M/s

Part C: 0.144 M/s

Explanation:

Part A

The average speed or velocity (V) is the variation of the space divided by the variation of the time:

V = (241 - 2)/(8 -3)

V = 47.8 mi/h

Part B

As Part A, the average rate (r) of formation of I2 is the variation of the concentration divided by the variation of time:

r = (1.83 - 1.11)/(15 - 5)

r = 0.072 M/s

Part C

The rates of the substances are proportional of their number of moles (n) which are their coefficient, so:

rI2/nI2 = rHCl/nHCl

0.072/1 = rHCl/2

rHCl = 2*0.072

rHCl = 0.144 M/s

Name the 2 isomers of c7h16 that contain 2 methyl branches, each branch on a different carbon of the parent chain.

kupik [55]

There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.
