Answer:

The correct answer is option C

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's principle "At the instant of time when the position is determined, that is, at the instant when the photon is scattered by the electron, the electron undergoes a discontinuous change in momentum. This change is the greater the smaller the wavelength of the light employed, i.e., the more exact the determination of the position. At the instant at which the position of the electron is known, its momentum therefore can be known only up to magnitudes which correspond to that discontinuous change; thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known".

Hence, this principle made scientists to realize that electrons could not be located in defined orbits which a contradictory of Bohr's model.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Endothermic

Explanation:

The temperature of the water decreased.

The water lost heat.

The heat must have gone into getting the KNO₃ into solution.

So, the dissolving of KNO₃ in water is endothermic.

Sodium tert-butoxide (NaOC(CH3)3) is classified as bulky and acts as Bronsted Lowry base in the reaction. It is reacted with 2-c

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.
