Answer:
The main competing reaction when a primary alkyl halide is treated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide is SN2 substitution.
Explanation:
The relative percentage of products of the reaction between an alkyl halide and alcoholic potassium hydroxide generally depends on the structure of the primary alkylhalide. The attacking nucleophile/base in this reaction is the alkoxide ion. Substitution by SN2 mechanism is a major competing reaction in the elimination reaction intended.
A more branched alkyl halide will yield an alkene product due to steric hindrance, similarly, a good nucleophile such as the alkoxide ion may favour SN2 substitution over the intended elimination (E2) reaction.
Both SN2 and E2 are concerted reaction mechanisms. They do not depend on the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Primary alkyl halides generally experience less steric hindrance in the transition state and do not form stable carbocations hence they cannot undergo E1 or SN1 reactions.
SN2 substitution cannot occur in a tertiary alkyl halides because the stability of tertiary carbocations favours the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The formation of this carbocation intermediate will lead to an SN1 or E1 mechanism. SN2 reactions is never observed for a tertiary alkyl halide due to steric crowding of the transition state. Also, with strong bases such as the alkoxide ion, elimination becomes the main reaction of tertiary alkyl halides.
Answer:
satellites communicate by using radio waves to send signals to the antennas on the Earth. the antennas then capture those signals and process the information coming from those signals.

Answer: Although the rocks of the produced by similar processes but their chemical composition may vary dependent upon the type of mineral present in these rocks so the color of the rock also varies depending upon the mineral composition.
Explanation:
The rocks are made by basic steps like disintegration of parent rock material, erosion, crystallization, metamorphism, and sedimentation. These basic steps are common in same kind of rocks but their color may vary because of the mineral composition in them for example, Rhyolite is of light colored because of the presence of quartz mineral present in it.
