SN1 is a substitution reaction with n being the nucleophilic substitution an 1 represents a unimolecular reaction. Because the given molecule on the central carbon is sterically hindered, the rate of carbocation formation is increased dramatically. It will make the OT (leaving group) to leave and a nucleophile (nucleophilic attack) will react to the carbocation.

Which of the following is unchanged at the end of the CNO cycle?

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. carbon-12

Explanation:

The CNO cycle, the abbreviation for the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, is a catalytic cycle by which the stars produce helium from elemental hydrogen, via a series of nuclear fusion reactions.

This cycle involves the fusion of four protons with carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ), nitrogen isotope ( $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ ), and oxygen isotope ( $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ ), to give an alpha particle and two electron neutrinos and positrons.

The reaction involves the regeneration of carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ) nucleus in the last step.

$_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{13}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{14}\textrm{N}$ → $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ → $_{7}^{15}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$

the chemical formula for copper iodide is Cul. How many atoms of copper(Cu) is it made from? How many atoms of iodine(I)?

Alexandra [31]

The molecule contains one atom of copper and one atom of iodine. They are connected by an ionic bond because the copper takes a positive charge and the iodine has a negative charge before they are bonded. These opposing charges are negated when the two elements come together.
