Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene  

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.

How are the properties of sodium chloride different than sodium and chlorine
lions [1.4K]
<span>Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. ... So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond.</span>

Why is pseudo science not considered real science
swat32

Pseudo-science is not considered real science because it is not testable.

Answer:  Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pseudoscience primarily includes beliefs, theories or practices that are somehow incompatible with the scientific facts. The pseudoscience can’t be tested on the basis of science.

Let’s take an example of astrology. Some people believe that stars and other celestial bodies draw a significant impact on their life i.e. Good or bad thing it's just because their stars are working either in a positive or negative manner.

But, this belief doesn’t have any well-proved or authentic background over which the whole concept can rely on. Hence, pseudoscience is not taken as a real science as a lack of strong proves.
