Answer : The given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
Explanation :
The chemical formula of the given compound is,
First we have to calculate the degree of unsaturation.
Formula used:
Degree of unsaturation =
where,
C = number of carbon
H = number of hydrogen
N = number of nitrogen
X = number of halogen
Degree of unsaturation =
The degree of unsaturation is, 0 that means there is no double or triple bond in the compound only single bond is present between the atoms.
Thus, the given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X
We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them
We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.
We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.
So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.
Step 2. Identify the Compound
X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.
We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.
The formula of the compound is .
