Chemistry

Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.

Which notations represent hydrogen isotopes?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

Hydrogen is an element with atomic number 1. It has three isotopes:

1) protium (₁¹H), with mass number 1 (no neutrons).

2) deuterium (₁²H), with mass number 2 (one neutrons, n° = 2 -1, n° = 1).

3) tritium (₁³H), with mass number 3 (two neutrons, n° = 3 -1, n° = 2).
