The density of Ca will be between that of Mg and Sr

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are group II elements. They are called alkali earth metals. The correct order of the elements in this group are: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra.

Density is an intensive property of matter which describes the amount of matter(mass) per volume of a substance.

Density varies proportionally with mass. The higher the mass, the higher its density.
On the periodic table, atomic mass which the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom increases down the group.
This implies a progradation in the value of density down the group. Therefore one expects that the value of density of Ca will fall between that of Mg and Sr. It cannot be more than 2.6g/cm³ nor less than 1.74g/cm³.

Compound a is an alkene that was treated with ozone (followed by dms) to yield only 4-heptanone. Draw the major product that is

olga nikolaevna [1]

Alkenes on reacting with ozone results in the formation of ozonide which undergo reductive cleavage in presence of dimethyl sulfide to form carbonyl compounds (aldehyde or ketone). Whereas in presence of hydrogen peroxide it undergoes oxidative cleavage to form carboxylic acids or ketones.

Since, A alkene yields 4-heptanone only on treatment with ozone and DMS thus, it implies that both the chains on the side of the double-bond are similar the product is 4-heptanone that means the double bond is present between the chains at the 4th carbon. Therefore the structure of compound A is 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

The reaction is as shown in the image.

The reaction of A with m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) followed by aqueous acid $H_3O^{+}$ is shown in the image.

m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) is a peracid and forms epoxides on reacting with alkenes.
