Arrange the following alkyl bromides in order from most reactive to least reactive in an SN2 reaction: 1-bromo-2-methylbutane, 1

-bromo-3-methylbutane, 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, and 1-bromopentane.
Rank the alkyl bromides from most reactive to least reactive. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
And what makes an alkyl bromide more reactive in this case?

Primary alkyl halides tend to undergo the SN2 reaction mechanism in nucleophilic substitution since there is less steric hindrance for nucleophilic attack and the carbocations that they form are not as stable as those formed from tertiary alkyl halides. 


1-bromopentane > 1-bromo 2-methylbutane > <span>1-bromo-3-methylbutane</span>> 2-bromo 2-methylbutane

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, in order to know this it's neccesary to remember how a SN2 reaction takes place. A Sn2 reaction is a bimolecular concerted reaction where all bonds are broken and making in only one step.

For this to occur, we need a strong nucleophyle (such a strong base) and a substract with a great outgoing group (The halides are great leaving groups).

The nucleophyle attacks on the back side of the molecule with the bromine, and the result is a molecule with inverted configuration and the bromine is replaced by the nucleophyle.

However, this step is fast and concerted, and in order to do this faster, the reactant must be (Ideally) with no substituent, because if the molecule is bulky, the nucleophyle's attack to the back side is hard. This doesn't mean that it will not undergo, but it will be harder and slower.

Because of this reason, we can see that from all the alkyl bromides there, the least bulky is the 1-bromopentane, so this will be the more reactive in Sn2, followed by 1-bromo-methylbutane, then the 1-bromo-2-methylbutane and finally the 2 - bromo - 2 - methylpentane.

In the picture, you have the structures of these molecules, so you can see how the steric hindrance affects this.

Give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for sf4. give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

5 electron groups, see saw

Explanation:

During the formation of SF4, the sulfur atom usually bonds with each of four fluorine atoms where 8 of valence electrons are used. The four fluorine atoms have 3 lone pairs of electrons in its octet which will further utilize 24 valence electrons. In addition, two electrons are present as a lone pair on the sulfur atom. We can determine sulfur’s hybridization state by counting of the number of regions of electron density on sulphur (the central atom in the molecule). When bonding takes place there is a formation of 4 single bonds to sulfur and it has 1 lone pair. Looking at this, we can say that the number of regions of electron density is 5. The hybridization state is sp3d.

SF4 molecular geometry is seesaw with one pair of valence electrons. The molecule is polar. The equatorial fluorine atoms have 102° bond angles instead of the actual 120° angle. The axial fluorine atom angle is 173° instead of the actual 180° bond angle.

In IR spectroscopy, we normally talk about "frequencies" when in reality we are referring to wavenumbers. What is the mathematic
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

(b) Wavenumber and wavelength

The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

Thus, if λ = 3 µm,

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}= 3.3 \times 10^{5}\text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3300 cm}^{-1}

(a) Wavenumber and frequency

Since

λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c

the relation between wavenumber and frequency is

\bar \nu = \mathbf{\dfrac{f}{c}}

Thus, if f = 90 THz

\bar \nu = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{12} \text{ s}^{-1}}{3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}= 3 \times 10^{5} \text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3000 cm}^{-1}

(c) Units

(i) Frequency

The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.

(ii) Wavelength

The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).

(iii) Wavenumber

The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).
