Explanation:

An element is a substance that is made up of only one type of atoms. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

For example, sodium, aluminium, nickel etc are all elements.

Whereas when two or more different elements combine together then it results in the formation of a compound.

For example, $MgCl_{2}$ is a compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical or physical means is called an element.

Draw a mechanism for the reaction of methylamine with 2-methylpropanoic acid. Draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the product

Nitella [24]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

On this case we have a base (methylamine) and an acid (2-methyl propanoic acid). When we have an acid and a base an acid-base reaction will take place, on this specific case we will produce an ammonium carboxylate salt.

Now the question is: ¿These compounds can react by a nucleophile acyl substitution reaction? in other words ¿These compounds can produce an amide? 

Due to the nature of the compounds (base and acid), the nucleophile (methylamine) doesn't have the ability to attack the carbon of the carbonyl group due to his basicity. The methylamine will react with the acid-producing a positive charge on the nitrogen and with this charge, the methylamine loses all his nucleophilicity.

I hope it helps!

Metallic pan is provided with a wooden plastic handle give reason

AlladinOne [14]

The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.

The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.

Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.
