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.

According to Hund's rule of maximum spin multiplicity, how many singly-occupied orbitals are there in the valence shells of the
leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon  - 2

B) cobalt  - 3

C) sulfur   - 2

D) fluorine   - 1

E) titanium   - 2

F) germanium  - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.  

(A) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

(B) Cobalt.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.

(C) Sulfur.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.

D) fluorine

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^5

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.

E) Titanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.

F) Germanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2

Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
