IT forms because they are highly reactive elements.
Answer:
Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture
Explanation:
S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.
However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.
Answer:
Letters
Explanation:
For example, today we use the periodic table which is full of elements named with 1 or 2 letters. Like how Helium is He and Sodium is Na. Hope this helps!!!
The one with higher mass has a higher density because it fits more mass into the same amount of space (volume).
2.3 dL = .23 liters. d=deci=10^-1 so you move the decimal place back once.
It's D because micro is 10^-6 (move the decimal place back 6 times) 230,000x10^-6=.23 liters or 2.3 dL.
