D. Protons, Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
Answer:
b. Beta emission, beta emission
Explanation:
A factor to consider when deciding whether a particular nuclide will undergo this or that type of radioactive decay is to consider its neutron:proton ratio (N/P).
Now let us look at the N/P ratio of each atom;
For B-13, there are 8 neutrons and five protons N/P ratio = 8/5 = 1.6
For Au-188 there are 109 neutrons and 79 protons N/P ratio = 109/79=1.4
For B-13, the N/P ratio lies beyond the belt of stability hence it undergoes beta emission to decrease its N/P ratio.
For Au-188, its N/P ratio also lies above the belt of stability which is 1:1 hence it also undergoes beta emission in order to attain a lower N/P ratio.
I’d say probably a forest
