Classify methanal according to the position of the c=o group
1 answer:
Answer : Methanal also known as Formaldehyde is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.
Explanation :
In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).
If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.
Here are some functional groups naming according to the<em> IUPAC</em> rules and image also attached,
Carboxylic acid → (RCOOH) → ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )
Aldehyde → (RCOH) → ( name end in 'AL' )
Ketone → (RCOR') → ( name end in 'ONE' )
Ester → (RCOOR') → ( name end in 'ATE' )
Amide → (RCONR'R") → ( name end in 'AMIDE' )
In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.
Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.
Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.
Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.
For the given options:
- <u>For a:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2
- <u>For b:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5
- <u>For c:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8
- <u>For d:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2
- <u>For e:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8
- <u>For f:</u>
The given electronic configuration is:
The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5
Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.
Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
