Answer:

Metal is named first

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

NaCl

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine.

Sodium chloride is also binary compound composed of only two element hydrogen and chlorine.

When naming these compounds the name of metal or cation is written first and anion is written after the cation. The anions are non meals.

The anion name is end with suffix " ide".

such as sodium chloride.

Which of the following reagents should be used to convert to Question 26 options: A) H2, Lindlar's catalyst B) Na, liquid NH3 C)
diamong [38]

Answer: The question is is not complete...here is the complete question.

Which of the following reagents should be used to convert 3-Hexyne to E-3-hexene

Option B.

Na, liquid NH3.

Explanation:

3-Hexyne to E-3-hexene can be converted with by using the reagent of Na, NH3 (birch reduction) and this can be done by hdrogenation of H2.

The reagents NaNH3 convert 3-Hexyne to E-3-hexene because it is a reducing agents that convert or has the ability to reduce alkynes to trans alkenes.

3 Hexyne is an alkynes and it is converted to E- 3 hexene Na and NH3.

A possible mechanism for the overall reaction represented above is the following.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The slow step of the reaction is the rate determining step. This means to get the rate law for a chemical activity with slow and fast steps, we have to consider the slow step if we are to write the rate law successfully.

Since the compound NO is reacting with itself, we have to raise the value of the concentration in the square bracket by 2. That is why we have the concentration squared.
