What is meant by the statement "energy is quantized"?

1 answer:

5 0

That means that the amount of energy can only be certain numbers, as if
energy came in tiny packets, and the in-between amounts don't exist.

Another example of a measurement in nature that is quantized is
electric charge.

Classify each of the four compounds as a conjugated, isolated, or cumulated diene. Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Conjugated diene is the one that contains alternate double bonds in its structure. That means both the double bonds are separated by a single bond.

Cumulated diene is the one that contains two double bonds on a single atom. This means it has two double bonds continuously.

Isolated double-bonded compound has a single bond isolated by two to three single bonds.

Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma bond.

For example:

$-CH_2=CH-CH=CH2-$

It is a conjugated diene.

Compound B: Two alkenes are joined by a C H 2 group.

It is a cumulative diene.

Compound C: Two alkenes are joined by C H 2 C H 2.

Then it is an isolated alkene.

Compound D: A cyclohexene has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 3 is an sp 2 carbon that is bonded to another s p 2 carbon with an alkyl substituent.

Hence, compound D is a conjugated diene.
