Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Which statement describes heterogeneous mixtures?
Artemon [7]
<span>The righ answer is the option A. They are made up of two or more pure substances that are not chemically bonded. A classicall expample ot heterogeneous mixtures are sugar and salt. Sugar is a pure substance, salt is also a pure substance, when you mixe them you form mixture where salt is still salt and sugar is still sugar, that is what "they are not chemically bonded" means. So you can separate them by physical media. </span>

Be sure to answer all parts. Show the overall reaction for formation of racemic 3−bromohexane from (E)−3−hexene by enterin
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The mechanism for the formation of bromohexane from hexene has been clearly shown in the image attached to this answer.

Hexene is attacked by HBr and a carbocation is first formed as shown. The carbocation is flat and planar. it can be attacked on either face by the bromide ion.

Attack on either faces yields a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomer as shown in the image.

You can use the mechanism shown to fill in the structures.
