Answer:

1,2-pentadiene < 1,4-pentadiene < cis-1,3-pentadiene < trans-1,3-pentadiene

Explanation:

1,3-pentadiene have two double bonds which are in conjugation, due to which delocalization occur. Delocalization of electrons more provide stability to 1,3-pentadiene as compared to 1,4-pentadiene and 1,2-pentadiene.

Among cis form and trans form of 1,3-pentadiene, trans form is more stable beacuse of less steric hindrance.

1,2-pentadiene is an example of cumulated diene. 1,4-pentadiene is an isolated diene. Cumulated dienes are less stable as two double bonds are present on the same carbon which leads to high electron density.

So, 1,2-pentadiene will be the least stable.

Order of dienes from least stable to most stable is as follows:

1,2-pentadiene < 1,4-pentadiene < cis-1,3-pentadiene < trans-1,3-pentadiene

Please help i have a midterm tommorow

A polar bond is formed with atoms having different electronegativities. The bonding electrons are attracted more towards the atom with greater electronegativity resulting in unequal sharing of electrons. Therefore the molecule develop partial charges and becomes polar. Polar molecules have dipole moment that is the partial charge on molecules due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.

A non-polar bond is formed with atoms having the same electronegativity, hence the bonded pair of electron is shared equally between atoms. Non-polar molecules have no moment.
Note that: symmetrical molecules having polar bonds are non-polar because the dipoles of the bond exert equal and opposite effect. Hence the dipoles cancel the charges.

Example: HCl
In HCl, Cl is more electronegative therefore Cl atom pulls the electron pair of the covalent bond towards itself and develops a partial negative charge. Consequently H develops a partial positive charge. This therfore leads to the formation of a dipole.

Which of the following atoms would have the longest de Broglie wavelength, if all have the same velocity?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

The phenomenon of wave particle duality was well established by Louis deBroglie. The wavelength associated with matter waves was related to its mass and velocity as shown below;

λ= h/mv

Where;

λ= wavelength of matter waves

m= mass of the particle

v= velocity of the particle

This implies that if the velocities of all particles are the same, the wavelength of matter waves will now depend on the mass of the particle. Hence; the wavelength of a matter wave associated with a particle is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the particle's linear momentum. The longest wavelength will then be obtained from the smallest mass of matter. Hence lithium which has the smallest mass will exhibit the longest DeBroglie wavelength

Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why ammonia has a higher boiling point than the other compounds in the ta

Kobotan [32]

Answer is: ammonia has a higher boiling point because it has stronger intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular forces<span> are the forces between </span><span>molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
</span>There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, i<span>on-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.</span>

What is the role of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

zhenek [66]

Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.

I hope this helps! :)
