Ptolemy was an astronomer and mathematician. He believed that the Earth was the center of the Universe. The word for earth in Greek is geo, so we call this idea a "geocentric" theory.
Answer:
See answer below
Explanation:
To understand this, we need to make the reaction involved with the given configuration. Configuration R means that the substituents of the molecule, the priority order goes clockwise (From heaviest to lightest) so, if an Sn2 is ocurring in the reaction this means that the nucleophile, which in this case, is the sodium ethoxide will attack the molecule in the opposite side of the leaving group (which is the chlorine).
Also when this occurs, as Sn2 is a bimolecular reaction and is held in one step, it occurs an inversion in the configuration of the product. So, it's the innitial reactant was R, then the final product will be S.
The mechanism and product can be watched in the attached picture
Hope this helps.
Answer:
the TWO characteristics of an effective collision are:
1.Molecules collide with sufficient energy
2.Molecules collide with the proper orientation.
Answer:
<em>o</em>-bromotoluene, <em>m</em>-bromotoluene and <em>p</em>-bromotoluene.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, on the attached picture you will find the reaction which yields <em>o</em>-bromotoluene as the first product, <em>m</em>-bromotoluene as the second product and <em>p</em>-bromotoluene as the last one since the substitution could be done at the second (ortho), third (meta) or fourth (para) carbons on the toluene.
Regards.
