Answer:
1. Changing Beam Material
2. Corrugation
3. Changing Beam form
4. Steel Reinforcing Bars
Explanation:
Changing Beam Material
Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.
Corrugation.
You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.
Changing Beam Form
Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.
Steel Reinforcing Bars
When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.
Answer:
Reagents: 1)
2)
, 
Mechanism: Hydroboration
Explanation:
In this case, we have a <u>hydration of alkene</u>s reaction. But, in this example, we have an <u>anti-Markovnikov reaction</u>. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: <u>"hydroboration"</u>.
The <u>first step</u> of this reaction is the addition of borane (
) to the double bond. Then in the <u>second step</u>, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the <u>third step</u>, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond "
". In <u>step number 4</u> we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in <u>step number 5</u>, we have the attack of
on the
to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will <u>protonate</u> the molecule to produce the alcohol.
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
It is in Group 5A => <u>5</u> valence electrons
