Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?
1 answer:
The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.
Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.
They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration
The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2
The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are
and
respectively.

The name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.
<h3>Nomenclature of Organic compounds</h3>From the question, we are to determine the name of the given molecule.
To name the compound, we will follow the IUPAC rules.
Some of IUPAC rules are
- Find the longest continuous carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain.
- For Alkenes (organic compounds with double bond), number the chain of carbons that includes the C=C so that the C=C has the lower position number. Change “ane” to “ene” and assign a position number to the first carbon of the C=C.
The given compound has 8 carbons and a double bond. The root name of the compound is octane.
By <u>IUPAC rules</u>, the compound is an <u>Octene</u>.
Since the double bond is between carbon-1 and carbon-2. The compound becomes 1-octene.
Hence, the name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.
