Chemistry

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

In general ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols. why?
Alex Ar [27]

Ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols because ether have not hydrogen bond that why ethers have lower boiling point .

Ethers will not have a hydrogen atom attached to the oxygen atom as alcohols do. Because ether molecules can not form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, their boiling points are much shorter than those of alcohol with such a comparable mass.

Owing to the combination of intermolecular H-bonding in alcohols though not in ethers, alcohols possess higher boiling temperatures than isomeric ethers.

Therefore, ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols because ether have not hydrogen bond that why ethers have lower boiling point .
