A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.

Non-<span>superimposable:
</span>                                     The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.

Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
                                                       When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Examples:
                Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.

In this simulation what do you think the bread and cheese separately represent, the atom or the molecule?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

the atom

Explanation:

The bread and cheese separately represent the atom because both bread and cheese are different from one another and we cannot assume it as a molecule because molecules formed when the group of atoms combine together by making bonds with each other and we know that bread and cheese did not make bonds with each other, they only attached, so we called them atoms not molecule.

A liquid-fueled rocket engine has two liquids, usually called the fuel and the oxidizer. Which two liquids are most commonly use
hammer [34]

Answer:

A liquid-fueled rocket has two liquids (liquids are good because of the density, they need less space than a gas to be stored), such that these liquids are called the fuel and the oxidizer.

These liquids are injected into a system that leads to a combustion chamber, where the liquids are mixed (we need to mix the fuel with the oxidizer to enable the combustion of the fuel) and burned to produce thrust.

Some common examples of oxidizers are liquid oxygen, which may be combined with fuels like liquid hydrogen, liquid methane, kerosene and hydrazine.

Other oxidizers are liquid fluorine (which also can be combined with the fuels liquid hydrogen and hydrazine), nitrogen tetroxide (which can be combined whit kerosene, hydrazine and other fuels) and FLOX-70, which can only be combined with kerosene.

The "most commonly used" may depend on the country and the type of liquid propellant ( petroleum, cryogens, and hypergols)

Such that the most common oxidizer may be liquid oxygen, and the most common fuel the kerosene.

Which statement is true about the electrons that can be located together in an orbital?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The two electrons that share an orbital repel each other.

All electrons bear a negative charge. They are held in their orbits by the attractive force of charged protons. The farther away an orbital is to the atomic nucleus the easier it is to expunge an electron from this distant orbital shell.

Explanation:

Because electrons have the same negative charge, they repel each other especially when they occupy the same orbital shell in an atom. To reduce this repulsion, each of the electrons in the orbital shell (remember electrons occupy orbital shells of atoms in 2s) assumes an opposite quantum (M<em>s</em>) spin; one with  – ½ while the other + ½ .
