Answer:
1) HNO3/H2SO4, 2) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3
Explanation:
Benzene is a stable aromatic compound hence it undergoes substitution rather than addition reaction.
When benzene undergoes substitution reaction, the substituent introduced into the ring determines the position of the incoming electrophile.
If I want to synthesize m-nitropropylbenzene, I will first carry out the nitration of benzene using HNO3/H2SO4 since the -nitro group is a meta director. This is now followed by Friedel Craft's alkykation using CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3.
Incomplete question. Full question reads;
Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.
What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution?
Answer:
<u>new experiments involving genes and evolution </u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, the original theory of evolution has experienced several changes in its acceptance because of its imperfect and wrong assumptions not based on generally acceptable scientific facts,
Hence, new experiments involving genes and evolution has led to a change (disagreements and few agreements) in the widely accepted theory of evolution.
Answer:
Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>
Explanation:
According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.
However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.
Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>
In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.
<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>
Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>
<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
