Answer: Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability
Explanation:
As Size of an atom Increases, the Basicity Decreases this is because if we move downwards from the top of the periodic table to the bottom of the periodic table, the size of an atom increases. As size increases, basicity will decrease, meaning the element will be less likely to act as a base implying that the element will be less likely to share its electrons.
in the same vein. With an increase in size, basicity decreases, making the ability of the leaving group to leave increase to increase . This can be seen in the halogens going down the group from
F--- worst
Cl----fair
Br ----good
I-----excellent
with fluorine having the worst ability to leave than Bromine which is better in terms of the leaving group ability.
The statement that is NOT a part
of John Dalton's atomic theory Electrons move in specific orbits around the
nucleus of an atom. The statements ‘All elements are composed of atoms that
cannot be divided’, ‘All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have
the same mass’ and ‘Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements,
combined in a specific ratio’ are not his theory.
The unit is the Kelvin, but most of the time 273 is subtracted from the Kelvin temperature and the new number is called "degrees Celsius".
c. Isoleucine has a carbon “branched” closer to the alpha carbon than does leucine.
The structure of leucine is CH3CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH2CH(NH2)COOH.
The structure of isoleucine is CH3CH2CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH(NH2)COOH.
In leucine, the CH3 group is <em>two carbons away</em> <em>from</em> the α carbon; in isoleucine, the CH3 group is on the carbon <em>next to</em> the α carbon.
Thus, <em>isoleucine</em> has the closer branched carbon.
“One is charged, the other is not” is i<em>ncorrect</em>. Both compounds are uncharged.
“One has more H-bond acceptors than the other” is <em>incorrect</em>. Each acid has two H-bond acceptors — the N in the amino and the O in the carbonyl group.
“They have different numbers of carbon atoms” is <em>incorrec</em>t. They each contain six carbon atoms.
