Compound X has the formula C8H14. X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form
a mixture of cis- and trans-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane. Treatment of X with ozone followed by zinc in aqueous acid gives a ketone and formaldehyde (CH2=O). What is the structure of X?
1 answer:
Answer:
1-Ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula = C₈H₁₄. An alkane has formula C₈H₁₈. ∴ X contains 2 double bonds, 2 rings, or 1 ring and 1 double bond.
X absorbs only 1 mol of hydrogen. ∴ X contains 1 ring and 1 double bond.
Hydrogenation gives 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane.
Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde, so X must contain a =CH₂ group.
Hydrogenation of X converted the =CH₂ to -CH₃.
X is 1-ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane.

Answer :
(a) Number of electrons in an atoms is, 6
(b) Number of electrons in an atoms is, 2
(c) Number of electrons in an atoms is, 14
Explanation :
There are 4 quantum numbers :
Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....
Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from . When l = 2, the value of
Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as . The value of this is for upward spin and for downward spin.
Number of electrons in a sublevel = 2(2l+1)
(a) 4p
n = 4
Value of 'l' for 'p' orbital : l = 1
At l = 1,
Number of electrons in an atoms = 2(2l+1) = 2(2×1+1) = 6
(b) n = 3, l = 1, ml = +1
As we know that, a sublevel of 'p' orbital can accommodate 6 electrons but 1 orbital can accommodate only 2 electrons. So,
Number of electrons in an atoms for (ml = +1) = 2
(b) n = 5, l = 3
Number of electrons in an atoms = 2(2l+1) = 2(2×3+1) = 14
