The believe that all objects are made up of atoms states that an atom is the smallest part of an objects and can be broken down no further than a single atom so the atom it self can be considered indivisible because it can't be broken down any further than that.... hope that helped

Atoms arent indivisible. Atoms consist of protons, electrons, neutrons, & quarks & a whole bunch of subatomic particles.

david’s mom wants to calculate how much it will cost to drive from los angeles, ca, to san francisco, ca. gas costs $4.00 a gall

grin007 [14]

She needs to know the distance from LA to SF.

Call that distance x. Then you can calculate the cost from:

# of gallons consumed: x miles / 38 miles/ gallon = (x/38) gallons

After that,

cost = # gallons * cost per gallon = (x/38) gallons * 4 $/gallon = 4x/38 $

Draw the alkane formed when 4,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexyne is treated with two equivalents of hbr.

AveGali [126]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Alkane formed is 5,5-dibromo-2,2,3-trimethylhexane. as shown below in attached scheme (Green Color).

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Alkynes like Alkenes undergo <em>Electrophillic Addition Reactions</em>. The reaction given is a two step reaction. In step 1, the Alkyne adds first equivalent of HBr obeying <em>Markovnikov's rule</em> (i.e. Bromine will add to carbon containing less number of hydrogen atoms) and forms <em>2-bromo-4,5,5-trimethylhex-1-ene</em>. In step 2, the alkene formed in first step (2-bromo-4,5,5-trimethylhex-1-ene) undergoes addition reaction with the second equivalent of HBr via Markovnikov's rule to produce <em>5,5-dibromo-2,2,3-trimethylhexane</em>.

The scheme is attached below, Blue color is assigned to starting Alkyne, Red color is assigned to intermediate Alkene and Green color is assigned to product Alkane respectively.
