Acids have a PH level of 6 or lower
Bases have a PH of 8 or higher
PH 7 is neutral
Answer:
(1) Bromination, (2) E2 elimination and (3) epoxidation
Explanation:
- In the first step, -OH group in cyclopentanol is replaced by more facile leaving group Br by treating cyclopentanol with
- In the second step, E2 elimination in presence of strong base e.g. NaOEt/EtOH produce cyclopentene
- In the third step, treatment of cyclopentene with mCPBA produces 1,2-epoxycyclopentane
- Full reaction scheme has been shown below
Answer:
B. the resonance hybrid of all structures
Explanation:
The idea of resonance is used to explain bonding in compounds where a single structure does not fully account for all the bonding interactions in a molecule.
A number of equivalent structures are then used to show the nature of bonding in such a molecule. Such structures are called resonance structures or canonical structures. None of these structures individually offer a holistic explanation to the bonding interactions in the molecule under study.
However, a hybrid of all the canonical structures does explain the nature of bonding in the molecule.
