Chemistry

A helium balloon displaces the amount of air. The weight of the helium in the balloon + the balloon fabric = lighter than the air that it displaces. Helium is lighter than air, so therefore, if it's in a balloon, the balloon will float.

The helium balloon displaces an amount of air. As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air. It turns out helium is a lot lighter than air.

loris [4]

Answer:

3rd option. 1–butanamine

Explanation:

To name the compound above, the following must be observed:

1. Locate the functional group in the chain. In this case the functional group is amine.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain has 4 carbon i.e butane.

3. Since the functional group is amine, the parent name becomes butanamine i.e replacing the –e at the end in butane with –amine

4. Indicate the position of the functional group in the chain. In this case the functional group is at carbon 1

5. Name the compound by putting the above together.

The name of the compound is:

1–butanamine or butan–1–amine
