Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For the first part of the question, we have to check the <u>chiral carbons</u> in 4-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol. In this case carbons, <u>1 and 2 are chiral</u>, if we have 2 chiral carbons we will have 4 isomers. We have to remember that formula 2^n in which "n" is the number of chiral carbons, so:

<u>2^n = 2^2 = 4 isomers</u>

<u>And the isomers that we can have are:</u>

1) (1R,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

2) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

3) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

4) (1S,2R)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

See figure 1

For the second part of the question, we have to remember that the oxidation with OsO_4 is a <u>syn addition</u>. In other words, the "OHs" are added in the <u>same plane</u>. In this case, we have the methyl group with a wedge bond, so the "OH" groups will have a dashed bond due to the <u>steric hindrance</u>. Due to this we only can have <u>1 isomer</u> ((1S,2R,4S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol). Finally, on this molecule, <u>we dont have any symmetry planes</u> (this characteristic will cancel out the optical activity), so <u>the product of this reaction has optical activity</u>.

See figure 2

I hope it helps!

What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺²  ,  SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄

Fill in the blank:
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Weathering, Erosion

Explanation:

Plants and animals can be agents of mechanical weathering. The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that has collected in a cracked rock. As the roots grow, they widen the cracks, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. Over time, trees can break apart even large rocks.

Tree root systems have a handful of large roots that branch out into a network of smaller roots that often extend out far beyond their branches do. These root systems prevent erosion by holding the soil in place and improving drainage which helps water get absorbed into the soil instead of just running over the top.

Hope this helps

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)

Which of the following is true? Covalent bonds are strong intermolecular forces. Covalent bonds are weak intramolecular forces.
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

They are strong intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Covalent forces are very strong intermolecular forces. In fact, we can say they are the strongest. This is because several big and giant molecules have covalent bonds holding their molecules together. A good example of this is the buckministerfullerence molecule which contains carbon atom to the order of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very giant molecule and it is covalent bond that is holding the molecules together

The strongest substance in the world is diamond. It is so strong that no other substance can cut it asides another diamond. As strong as it is, the molecule is held together by very strong intermolecular forces of covalent bonds which confers the strength it has on it
