Explanation:
Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:
Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.
Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.
However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.
Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.
Thus, the major product will A
Answer:
On the basis of your knowledge of the reaction of halogens with alkanes, decide which product you would not expect to be formed in even small quantities in the bromination of ethane?
A) BrCH2CH2Br
B) CH3CH2CH2Br
C) CH3CHBr2
D) CH3CH2CH2CH3
E) BrCH2CH2CH2CH2Br
Explanation:
The reaction of ethane with bromine in presence of UV light forms mono substituted ethane at all primary and secondary carbons.
This is an example of free radical substitution.
The structure of ethane and its bromination is shown below:
Among the given options that which is not possible to form is option B) that is CH3CH2CH2Br(propyl bromide).
Remaining all other products are possisble to form on free radical substitution of ethane.
Answer:
the size of Ca is the greatest ,then Mg is the greater on size than Be
Explanation:
if you make the electron configuration for each of the elements, what is the main difference u gonna see ?
Be 4 1s2/2s2
Mg 12 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2
Ca 20 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2 3p6 3d/4s2
see that all the elements are in the same group but are in different period
u gonna see the last electron valance shell in Ca are too far from its nucleus but in Be the last electrons are too close and more attracted to the atom's nucleus , so the size of Ca is the biggest then Mg then Be
"Calcium's chemical properties are attributed to its location in group 2 of the periodic table. As an alkaline earth metal, it is a good reducing agent for preparing other metals, such as uranium and thorium. It reacts violently when placed in water, forming calcium hydroxide, more commonly known as lime. This is the reason why water that is high in calcium causes lime buildup on the interior of pipes. Calcium also reacts rapidly when exposed to air. It develops an oxide coating, which prevents the mass of calcium from corroding. If exposed to air at a high temperature, calcium burns to produce nitride. The most common calcium isotope is Calcium-40. It has an ionic radius of 0.099 nm, a standard potential of -2.87 volts and an ionization energy of 589.6 kJ per mole. Calcium compounds are important in a number of industries. Calcium oxide, for example, is used in high intensity lights. Calcium hydroxide is useful for breaking down wood and rocks".

"The calcium oxide, Ca(OH)2, has many applications in which the hydroxyl ion is necessary. In the process of calcium hydroxide quenching, the volume of blown out lime [Ca(OH)2] expends to double the initial quantity of quick lime (CaO), fact that makes it useful to break down rocks or wood".
"The quick lime is an excellent absorbent for the carbon dioxide, because it produces carbonate, which is very insoluble".
"The calcium silicate, CaSi, prepared in an electric oven from lime, silica and reducing carbonated agents, is useful as a steel-deoxidizing agent. Calcium carbide, CaC2, is produces when heating up a mixture of lime and carbon at 3000ºC in an electric oven and it is an acetylate which produces acetylene by hydrolysis. The acetylene is the base material of a great number of important chemicals for the organic industrial chemistry".
"The pure calcium carbonate occurs in two crystalline forms: calcite, hexagonal shaped, which possesses birrefringent properties, and aragonite, rhombohedric. The natural carbonates are the most abundant calcium minerals. The Iceland spar and the calcite are essentially pure carbonate forms, whilst the marble is impure and much more compact, reason why it can be polished. It’s very demanded as construction material. Although the calcium carbonate is very little soluble in water, it is quite soluble if the water contains dissolved carbon dioxide, for in these solutions it forms bicarbonate when dissolving. This fact explains the cave formation, where the lime stone deposits have been in contact with acid waters".
