No, coal is not a mineral because a mineral has to be inorganic meaning that it can not be made by a life process.

Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) of the following reaction. 1. lithium diisopropylamide / hexane 2. 1 eq. C
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

You are not providing the starting material, however, I manage to find a similar question to this, so I'm gonna use it as a basis to help you answer yours.

Now let's analyze what is happening in the reaction so we can predict the final product.

We have a ketone here, reacting at first with LDA. This is a very strong base that is commonly used in reactions with ketones and aldehydes to promove a condensation. To do this, as LDA is a strong base it will occur firts an acid base reaction, substracting the most acidic hydrogen in the molecule (Which in this case, is the Beta hydrogen of the carbonile). This will cause an enolate formation.

Then, this enolate will react with the CH3I and form a new product. The final result would be a ketone with a methyl group now attached. In the picture 2, you have the mechanism and final product.

Hope this helps

The alkali metals play virtually the same general chemical role in all their reactions. (b) How is it based on atomic properties
vfiekz [6]

b) It is based on atomic properties as alkali metals requires 7 more electrons to complete their outer orbit. And they try to give those electrons to other elements to obtain noble gas configuration.

Noble gases are the gases which do not react easily with anything. They are also called as Inert gases, and belongs to group 18 of the periodic table.

Alkali metals are the substances which are found in Group I of a periodic table. Mostly the elements which are present are:

  • Lithium (Li)
  • Sodium (Na)
  • Potassium (K)
  • Rubidium (Rb)
  • Cesium (Cs)
  • Francium (Fr)

Properties of alkali metals are:  Soft, shiny reactive metals. They are soft enough to cut with knife. Metals react with water and air quickly and gets tarnish, so pure metals are stored in container by dipping them in oil to prevent oxidation.

How many electrons do nonmetals atoms tend to gain when forming ions
amm1812
Since nonmetals have five, six, or seven electrons in their valence shells, it takes less energy to gain the necessary electrons, and therefore form anions.
