1 answer:
Answer:
The result is 3.859 in which we use four significant figures.
Explanation:
We start by solving the mathematical operation :
The result for the operation is 3.859438 but the numbers in the operation are given with four significant figures and that is why we are going to use four significant figures to express the result
To express 3.859438 with four significant figures we use the first four digits that appear from left to right starting by the first digit that is different to zero
In this case : 3.859 will be the result with four significant figures.
We also use a rule that says : To decide if the last significant figure remains the same we look for the value of the digit at its right.
If that number is greater than or equal to 5 ⇒ we sum one to the last significant figure
For example 3.859738 = 3.860 with four significant figures because the ''7'' is greater that 5
If that number is less than 5 ⇒ the last significant figure remains the same
In our case : 3.859438 = 3.859 because ''4'' is less than ''5''

Explanation:
In the first step, a cyclic structure with a positive bromine is formed. The bromine shares the positive charge with the two carbons that it is bonded to, so the carbons are partially positive.
The second bromine atom then attacks the carbon center, coming in from below the first bromine atom ("backside attack") where the antibonding orbital of the second bromine atom is.
The stereochemistry of the mechanism causes the final product to be an anti-dibromocyclohexane.
