Answer:

c. Polystyrene

Explanation:

Caleb wants a synthetic material that is not soluble in water, so it must be a nonpolar material because water is polar.

Cellulose is a nonpolar molecular, but is a natural product;

Nylon is a synthetic compound, but is polar, so it' soluble in water;

Vulcanized rubber is polar and the rubber is a natural compound.

The only compound that he can use is polystyrene, which is insoluble in water and is a synthetic material.

There are several aromatic compounds with the formula C8H9Cl. Draw those that have a trisubstituted ring where the methyl groups
Kryger [21]

Answer:

3-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene

4-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene

Explanation:

Such types of compounds in which conjugated planer ring system and delocalized pi electrons are present are called aromatic compounds such as Toluene, Benzene and some other. Generally, these compounds follow Huckle's rule. The trisubstituted ring means a compound in which three hydrogen atoms are replaced by three other groups. In the given compound  two hydrogen atoms are replaced by two methyl groups and one hydrogen atom is replaced by one Chlorine atom. From the given compound  3-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene, and   4-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene  can be drawn.

What is the decay mode of radium-226?
inn [45]

Answer:

Radium-226 is a radioactive decay product in the uranium-238 decay series and is the precursor of radon-222. Radium-228 is a radioactive decay product in the thorium-232 decay series. Both isotopes give rise to many additional short-lived radionuclides, resulting in a wide spectrum of alpha, beta and gamma radiations.
