There is \boxed{{\text{one}}} element of unsaturation that is implied by the molecular formula {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{12}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are composed of hydrogen and carbon only. Aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, cycloalkanes are different types of hydrocarbons.

Types of hydrocarbons:

1. Saturated hydrocarbons

These are the simplest type of hydrocarbons. These are composed of only single bonds and therefore called saturated hydrocarbons. The general formula of saturated hydrocarbons is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n + 2}}, where <em>n</em> is the number of carbon atoms. Methane, butane, hexane, and propane are some examples of saturated hydrocarbons.

2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons

These have one or more multiple bonds in them. Hydrocarbons consisting of double bonds are called alkenes while those comprising of triple bonds are called alkynes. The general formula for alkenes is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n}}, while that of alkynes is {{\text{C}}_n}{{\text{H}}_{2n - 2}}, where<em> n</em> is the number of carbon atoms.

The formula to calculate the element of unsaturation is as follows:

{\text{Element of unsaturation}}=\dfrac{{\left( {2{\text{C}} + {\text{2}} - {\text{H}} - {\text{X}} + {\text{N}}} \right)}}{2}                                        …… (1)

Here,

C is the number of carbons.

H is the number of hydrogens.

X is the number of halogens.

N is the number of nitrogens.

The molecular formula of the given compound is {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_{12}}. So it has 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms in it.

Substitute 6 for C, 12 for H, 0 for X and 0 for N in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Element of unsaturation}}&=\frac{{\left( {2\left( {\text{6}} \right) + {\text{2}} - {\text{12}} - {\text{0}} + {\text{0}}} \right)}}{2}\\&={1}\end{aligned}

Therefore there is only one element of unsaturation in {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_{12}}. This indicates either the presence of a double bond or a ring in the given compound.

A ____________ alkene is more stable than a ____________ alkene because they have fewer steric interactions. In an elimination r
Vesna [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A <u>trans</u> alkene is more stable than a <u>cis alkene</u> because they have fewer steric interactions.

<em>⇒ In a cis alkene there is steric hindrance, because the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. </em>

<em>Because of this steric crowding, there are van der Waals repulsive forces between the electron clouds of the groups. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This decreases the stability of the cis alkene.</em>

<em />

In an elimination reaction, a geometry where the β hydrogen and the leaving group are on opposite sides of the molecule is called <u>anti</u> periplanar.

<em> ⇒ 'Anti’ refers to the two functional groups lying on opposite sides of the plane of the bond</em>

In an <u>SN1 </u>mechanism, a nucleophile attacks the carbocation, forming a substitution product,

<em> ⇒ The SN1 reaction is a substitution reaction, and means "nucleophilic substitution".The "1" says that the rate-determining step is unimolecular. Thus, the rate equation is often shown as having first-order dependence on electrophile and zero-order dependence on nucleophile.</em>

while in an <u>E1</u><u> </u>mechanism, a base removes a β hydrogen from the carbocation, forming a new π-bond.

<em> ⇒ E1 indicates a elimination, unimolecular reaction</em>

<em>This implies that the rate determining step of the mechanism depends on the decomposition of a single molecular species.</em>

<em>.This is a classic elimination reaction – forming a new C–C(π) bond, and breaking a C–H and C–leaving group bond.</em>

CH3CH2Br and NaOH react by an <u>SN2</u><u> </u>mechanism.

<em> ⇒  It's a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry, where one bond is broken and one bond is formed, synchronously, (in one step.) </em>

Stronger bases, like hydroxide, favor<u> E2</u> reactions, whereas weaker bases, like water favor, <u>E1</u> reactions

Disubstituted alkenes always have the possibility to exist as two different <u>Diastereomer.</u>

<em>Diastereomer are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another and are non-superimposable on one another. They exist (always) in 2 forms.</em>

<u>Elimination reactions</u> are regioselective, favoring formation of the more substituted and more stable alkene.
