<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a sp^2 hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

From the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by diffusion.

From the atmosphere to the biosphere by photosynthesis.

From the atmosphere to the geosphere by rainfall.

Explanation:

Carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by the process of diffusion because there is high concentration of carbondioxide present in the atmosphere. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the biosphere by the process of photosynthesis in plants which uses carbondioxide gas as a raw material in the process for the preparation of organic compounds such as glucose. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the geosphere with the help of rain. When carbondioxide gas react with water in the atmosphere, carbonic acid is formed and comes to the ground through rainfall.

How can heat change matter from a solid to a liquid to a gas?<br> Help ima mark Brainlyest!!
babymother [125]
The heat energy breaks down the bonds between the molecules of the solid so the molecules become looser. Further hearing of the liquid causes the bonds to be broken down and the molecules will move further apart.
