Answer:
The correct option is: (D) would function as both an acid and a base
Explanation:
A carbon skeleton bonded to a amino group as well as a carboxyl group, will behave as an acid in basic medium and base in acidic medium. This is because the carboxyl group present in the compound will release a proton in basic medium and the amino group will accept a proton in the acidic medium.
<u>Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.</u>
Answer:
The bonds between the molecules of the plastic bottle become weaker as the altitude decreases.
Radio waves has the longest wavelength
Answer: Benzene is less reactive than methylbenzoate and more reactive than Nitrobenzene
Explanation:
This is because the methyl group on the benzene ring is an electron donating group leading to the activation of the ring and subsequently leading to more canonical resonance structure at the intermediate stage of the reaction enhancing the faster reactivity
However for the Nitrobenzene the nitro group is an electron withdrawing group leading to a slower activation and less resonance canonical structure at the reaction intermediate leading to a slower reaction than the reaction of benzene without the nitro group
