Answer:The product formed on reaction with hydroxide ion as nucleophile is 2R-hexane-2-ol.
The product formed on reaction with water would be a 50:50 mixture of
2S-hexane-2-ol. and 2R-hexane-2-ol.
Explanation:
2S-iodohexane on reactiong with hydroxide ion would undergo SN² substitution reaction that is substitution bimolecular. Hydroxide ion has a negative charge and hence it is a quite good nucleophile .
The rate of a SN² reaction depends on both the substrate and nucleophile . Here the substrate is a secondary carbon center having Iodine as a leaving group.SN² reaction takes place here as hydroxide ion is a good nucleophile and it can attack the secondary carbon center from the back side leading to the formation of 2R-hexane-2-ol.
In a SN² reaction since the the nucleophile attacks from the back-side so the product formation takes place with the inversion of configuration.
When the same substrate S-2-iodohexane undergoes a substitution reaction with water as a nucleophile then the reaction occurs through (SN¹) substitution nucleophilic unimolecular mechanism .
The rate of a SN¹ reaction depends only on the nature of substrate and is independent of the nature of nucleophile.
The SN¹ reaction is a 2 step reaction , in the first step leaving group leaves leading to the formation of a carbocation and once the carbocation is formed then any weaker nucleophile or even solvent molecules can attack leading the formation of products.
In this case a secondary carbocation would be generated in the first step and then water will attack this carbocation to form the product in the second step.
The product formed on using water as a nucleophile would be a racemic mixture of R and S isomers of hexane -2-ol in 50:50 ratio. The two products formed would be 2R-hexane-2-ol and 2S-hexane-2-ol.

Answer:
I don't know chemistry
Explanation:
because this is the hardest subject in the world nobody can solve it so do yourself ok Beta
Answer:
The noble gases with complete outermost shell electrons.
Explanation:
Noble gases or inert gases do not react chemically with other elements because they have a complete configuration of their electronic shells. What drives chemical reaction is simply the exchange of electrons between two or more atoms. It can be a loss, a gain or simple sharing of electrons in order to achieve a complete configuration just like those of noble gases.
Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.
(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Z
= number of protons
(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Z
= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)
Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.
(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.
A
= number of protons + number neutrons
or
A
=
Z
+ number neutrons
So if you say that
Z
= 20 and
A
= 40, then
A
=
Z
+ number neutrons
40 = 20 + number of neutrons
40 - 20 = number of neutrons
Therefore,
number of neutrons = 20
