Why is CCl4 classified as a non polar molecule?

1 answer:

6 0

CCl4 is a non polar molecule because though each of the C-Cl bond is polar but the resultant of all these dipole moments is zero as its a symmetrical tetrahedral shape molecule ,and their is a cancellation of dipole moment in each pair.

Ways to reduce your carbon footprint.

Answer:

Avoid driving as much as you can
Avoid plastic in general (Plastic is usually not recycled, despite what people say. It ends up in landfills, the ocean, or it is burned)
Don't buy fast fashion (Clothes that are made in bulk by factories usually in Bangladesh. They are trendy but bad for the environment. Instead, shop at thrift stores.)
Don't waste food! Stop throwing out those leftovers, and make sure you eat everything on your plate.
Try to switch to renewable energy. (Use solar panels or find lights that conserve energy. Also, these options most likely cost less :)
Try to cut back on your meat intake. (I am a pescatarian who loves meat. I started this diet in 4th or 5th grade because it was a dare. I know, it was a crazy dare, but hey I don't back down! It's been about 5 years now and I'm still going strong. If me - a meat lover - can do it, you can to :)

Dehydration of 2-methyl-2-pentanol forms one major and one minor organic product. Draw the structures of the two organic product

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The major product is 2-methyl-2-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ ] and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ ].

Explanation:

Dehydration reaction is a reaction in which a molecule loses a water molecule in the presence of a dehydrating agent like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).

Dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentanol gives a major product 2-methyl-2-pentene and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene.

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)₂-OH (2-methyl-2-pentanol)→ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ (2-methyl-2-pentene, major) + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ (2-methyl-1-pentene, minor)

Since more substituted alkene is more stable than the less substituted alkene. So, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is more stable than the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene.

Therefore, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is the major product and the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene is the minor product.

An organism contains chloroplasts in its cells which allows it to make its own food. What Kingdom is it in?

Alina [70]

Answer:

Plantae. Plants are multicellular and most don't move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis (they all require sunlight).
