Answer:

(R)-but-3-en-2-ylbenzene

Explanation:

In this reaction, we have a very <u>strong base</u> (<em>sodium ethoxide</em>). This base, will remove a hydrogen producing a double bond. We know that the reaction occurs through an <u>E2 mechanism</u>, therefore, the hydrogen that is removed must have an <u>angle of 180º</u> with respect to the leaving group (the "OH"). This is known as the <u>anti-periplanar configuration</u>.

The hydrogen that has this configuration is the one that placed with the <u>dashed bond</u> (<em>red hydrogen</em>). In such a way, that the base will remove this hydrogen, the "OH" will leave the molecule and a double bond will be formed between the methyl and the carbon that was previously attached to the "OH", producing the molecule (R) -but-3- en-2-ylbenzene.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

At STP, which of these substances is most soluble in H2O?<br> (1) CCl4 (3) HCl<br> (2) CO2 (4) N2
san4es73 [151]
The correct answer is option 3. Hydrochloric acid is the most soluble in water at standard temperature and pressure because it is has a polar covalent bond which makes it a polar molecule. Water is also a polar substance therefore hydrochloric acid will really be soluble in water.

1. Which is composed of matter? (6P21)<br> A. Electricity<br> B. An atom<br> C. Light<br> D. heat
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

An atom

Explanation:

Matter is composed of atoms and atom is further consist of smaller particles called electron, proton and neutrons.

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

The atom interact with another atom by sharing or transferring the electrons. The properties of substances are depend upon the electrons present out side the nucleus.

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative?
Blababa [14]

The Chlorine and fluorine atoms are  the most electronegative.

So, option D and E is correct one.

The atom of a given chemical elements having tendency to attract bonded pair of electron toward itself is called electronegativity. The electronegativity of atoms is affected by both its atomic number and distance at which its valence electrons resides from the charged nucleus.

The electronegativity of the elements is increases on moving left to right in the period of periodic table while decreasing on moving top to bottom in the group of periodic table .

Example:

The elctronegativity of fluorine atom = 3.98

The elctronegativity of chlorine atom =3.16

The elctronegativity of carbon atom = 2.25

The elctronegativity of phosphorus atom = 2.19

The elctronegativity of silicon atom = 2.58
