<span>In each case, the same bond gets broken - the bond between the hydrogen and oxygen in an -OH group. Writing the rest of the molecule as "X"
</span>

The factors to consider

Two of the factors which influence the ionisation of an acid are:

<span>the strength of the bond being broken,the stability of the ions being formed.</span>

In these cases, you seem to be breaking the same oxygen-hydrogen bond each time, and so you might expect the strengths to be similar.

During the reaction of molecular bromine with 2,2,3-trimethyl pentane initiated by heat or light hydrogen atom will be abstracte
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:carbon number 3 of the parent chain

Explanation:

CH3CH2CH(CH3)C(CH3)2CH3.

Looking at the structural formula of the above compound, the carbon on position 3, in the parent chain is a tertiary carbon atom. The reaction in question proceeds by free radical mechanism. Hydrogen is first abstracted from the carbon atom that leads to te formation of the most stable carbocation. For this reason, hydrogen is abstracted from carbon 3 of the parent chain.

What is the crystalline arrangement of atoms shown here?
mixer [17]

Answer: Answer:

"The arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal " is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic.

Explanation:

Face centred cubic system explains the crystal structure where an atom is present at each cubic corner of the crystal  and the centre of each cube face. Meaningfully, a closed packed plane where at each "face of the cube" atoms touch the alongside face diagonals.

Whereas in body centric cube system has the lattice point present at the 8 corners of  cell and an additional one at the center of the cell. Thus, both explains how the atom or ions are  placed or arranged in a crystal.

Explanation: Hope this helps :)

What type of matter can be physically separated
Aneli [31]

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule
