Answer : The correct option is, (B) Linear

Explanation :

Formula used  :

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the BeH_2  molecules.

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [2+2]=2

The number of electrons is 2 that means the hybridization will be sp and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

The three-dimensional shape of the molecule with the Lewis structure are shown below.

What is the approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.

Explanation:

The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.

Write the structure of the product that would be formed from the S(
prisoha [69]

Answer:The product formed on reaction with hydroxide ion as nucleophile is 2R-hexane-2-ol.

The product formed on reaction with water would be a 50:50 mixture of

2S-hexane-2-ol. and 2R-hexane-2-ol.

Explanation:

2S-iodohexane on reactiong with hydroxide ion would undergo SN² substitution reaction that is substitution bimolecular. Hydroxide ion has a negative charge and hence it is a quite good  nucleophile .

The rate of a SN² reaction depends on both the substrate and nucleophile . Here the substrate is a secondary carbon center having Iodine as a leaving group.SN² reaction  takes place here as hydroxide ion is a good nucleophile and it can attack the secondary carbon center from the back side leading to the formation of 2R-hexane-2-ol.

In a SN² reaction since the the nucleophile attacks from the back-side so the product formation takes place with the inversion of configuration.

When the same substrate S-2-iodohexane undergoes a substitution reaction with water as a nucleophile then the reaction occurs through (SN¹) substitution nucleophilic unimolecular mechanism .

The rate of a SN¹ reaction depends only on the nature of substrate and is independent of the nature of nucleophile.

The SN¹ reaction is a 2 step reaction , in  the first step leaving group leaves leading to the formation of a carbocation and once the carbocation is formed then any weaker nucleophile or even solvent molecules can attack leading the formation of products.

In this case a secondary carbocation would be generated in the first step and then water will attack this carbocation to form the product in the second step.

The product formed on using water as a nucleophile would be a racemic mixture of R and S isomers of hexane -2-ol in 50:50 ratio. The two products formed would be 2R-hexane-2-ol and 2S-hexane-2-ol.

Kindly refer the attachment for reaction mechanism and structure of products.

Use the half-reactions of the reaction Au(OH)3 + HI -> Au +I2 +H2O to answer the questions
kirill115 [55]
Enter an equation of a chemical reaction and click 'Balance'. The answer will appear below
Always use the upper case for the first character in the element name and the lower case for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F. Compare: Co - cobalt and CO - carbon monoxide
To enter an electron into a chemical equation use {-} or e
To enter an ion specify charge after the compound in curly brackets: {+3} or {3+} or {3}.
Example: Fe{3+} + I{-} = Fe{2+} + I2
Substitute immutable groups in chemical compounds to avoid ambiguity.
For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced,
but PhC2H5 + O2 = PhOH + CO2 + H2O will
Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.
If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.
