Chemistry

Rudik [331]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct name for P₄S₃ is tetraphosphorous  trisulfide or also known as phosphorous sesquisulfide.

Explanation:

P represents the element phosphorous.

S represents the element sulfur.

Since there is a 4 beside P, then we are going to use the prefix "tetra-". Since there is a 3 beside S, then we are going to use the prefix "tri-". We will also use the suffix "-ide" in sulfur because we are naming a compound with multiple elements.

So, P₄S₃ will be named tetraphosphorous trisulfide. When using more scientific terms, then the name of the compound is phosphorous sesquisulfide.

Answer:

alkenes

nucleophiles

electrophiles

syn

anti

syn and anti

Explanation:

Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as <u>alkenes</u>

Alkenes are electron rich; therefore, simple alkenes do not react with <u>nucleophiles</u> or bases, but will react with <u>electrophiles</u> or acids.

In the IUPAC system, an alkene is identified by the suffix -ene-

Addition reactions in which two parts Of a reagent are added to the same side of

a double bond are known as <u>syn </u>additions.

Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added from opposite

sides of a double bond are called <u>anti</u> additions

Halogenation and halohydrin formation occur with <u>syn and anti</u> -additions.

Further explanations:

Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon single bond are known as alkanes. Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as alkenes. Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond are known as alkynes.

Nucleophiles are electron rich so they react with electron deficient centers while Electrophiles are electron deficient so they react with electron rich centers.
