Answer:

The peroxide initiates the free radical reaction

Explanation:

The addition of HBr to alkene in the presence of peroxides occurs via a free radical mechanism.

The organic peroxide acts as the initiator of the free radical reaction. The organic free radical interacts with HBr to produce a bromine free radical which now interacts with the alkene and the propagation steps continue until it is terminated by the coupling of two free radicals.

The peroxide effect leads to anti-Markovnikov addition.

I think what your looking for is 40g LiBr. I'm sorry if I'm wrong

The element phosporus is located to the right of the element magnesium along the same period in the periodic table.

I’m assuming this is a true and false question. The answer is true. Phosphorus has a larger atomic mass. Phosphorus is number 15 on the periodic table. Phosphorus is a non-metal.

Can someone please describe what they’re seeing in this picture?

Answer:

In the given figure, There are two atoms -

Sodium ( Na )
Chlorine ( Cl )

sodium has one electron in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to donate the outer most electron.

whereas,

chlorine has 7 electrons in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to get one more electron.

in this condition Na ( sodium ) donates it's outermost electron to Cl ( chlorine ) and both became stable.

but now sodium has more number of protons than the electrons hence it get positive (+) charge and chlorine has more electrons than the protons hence it get negative (-) charge

so, they get stick to each other by strong electrostatic force acting on the charged atoms and forms a salt " NaCl " ( sodium chloride ) .

i hope it helped you.....
