Answer:
Explanation:
is insufficient to overcome intermolecular forces.
Answer:
Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde
Explanation:
Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.
In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.
In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.
We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.
Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.
So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.
Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.
Answer:
Option B. [Ar] 4s² 3d⁷
Explanation:
The condensed form of the electronic configuration of of cobalt, Co can be written by using the closest noble gas element before the cobalt element.
Cobalt has atomic number of 27. The noble gas element before cobalt is argon (Ar).
Thus, we can write the electronic configuration of cobalt, Co as follow
Co (27) => [Ar] 4s²3d⁷
