How does the location of hydrogen on the periodic table differ from the locations of other nonmetals?

1 answer:

4 0

It's special, because it has only one electron, while the ideal "noble gas" configuration (helium) would call for two.

EXPLANATION:

So in one way it could 'try' to gain an electron as any element from halogen group (F-Cl-Br...) would do.
On the other hand it could lose its one electron, in which case it would belong to the alkali metals (Li-Na-K...).

In practice, H mostly shares its electron, either by covalent bonds, or by donating an electron and working together with H2O to form the H3O+or 'acid' ion.

In short, H is too special to to put it in a specific Group.

Differentiate between short period and long period in modern periodic table

AfilCa [17]

The difference between short period and long period is based upon the number of elements in each period. Shortest period is the first period which contains elements, while the longest period is the 6th period which contains 32 elements.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an "anti-Markovnikov" reaction. This means that the "OH" will be added at the least substituted carbon of the double bond.

In the case of 2-methyl-2-butene, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon three producing 3-methylbutan-2-ol.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon 2 producing 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol.

See figure 1

Muszę napisać wzór sumatryczny wysyłam załącznik

ioda

Cześć, nie mówię po polsku, więc zrobiłem to w Tłumaczu Google, więc przepraszam, jeśli coś brzmi śmiesznie.

chlor (VII) i tlen - ten wzór to $CI_{2} O_{7}$ , a tlenek chloru jest bezwodnikiem kwasu nadchlorowego.

węgiel i wodór - wzór na węgiel i wodór to CnH2n + 2), jest to związek organiczny, a niższa klasyfikacja jest taka, że jest to również węglowodór aromatyczny.

Mam nadzieję, że to pomoże, błogosławionego i cudownego dnia! :-)
