Answer:

Explanation has been given below

Explanation:

In diaxial conformation of cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane, 4 gauche-butane interactions along with syn-diaxial interaction are present. Hence it readily gets converted to diequitorial conformation where no such gauche-butane interaction is present
In two possible conformations of trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane, 2 gauche-butane interactions are present in each of them.
Hence cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane exists almost exclusively in diequitorial form. But trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane has no such option.

Trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane experiences gauche butane interaction in each of the two conformations.
Therefore cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane is more stable than trans conformation

List and describe the three rock types in the rock cycle including two or more processes involved in the formation of each type

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation.

Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.

What elements form chlorides with formula xcl?

dolphi86 [110]

<span>Since chlorine favours a (-1) oxidation state, it forms an ionic bond with group one metals with the formula XCl. All group one metals react vigorously with chlorine gas; and each reaction gets more violent as you move down Group 1 and produces a white crystalline salt. The reaction with chlorine is as follows 2X + Cl2 which gives 2XCl. Where X is an Alkali metal.</span>

Justify air is a mixture not a compound

Andreas93 [3]

A compound has to be chemically bonded, however, air is not chemically bonded.
This can be proven by freezing air. By freezing air, it yields different liquids at different temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen.
If air was a compound, they would all have a single boiling point and a single freezing point.

Hope this helps :)

What is a key difference between an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell? The anode is where the oxidation takes place. The cath

Volgvan

the answer is "There is an outside energy source." in voltaic cells, there is not need of an external source of energy because they involve spontaneous reactions.

in both types of cells, the electrons move from anode to cathode, the anode is where oxidation takes place and cathode for reduction (an ox, red cat). also both have two half reactions.
