The action of natural selection consists in selecting individuals more adapted to a given ecological condition, eliminating those disadvantaged for that same condition. The most appropriate expression refers to the greater likelihood of a given individual surviving and leaving offspring in a given environment. Natural selection acts permanently on all populations. Even in stable and constant environments, natural selection acts in a stabilizing manner, is present, eliminating deviant phenotypes.

An adaptation is a feature that is common in a population because it provides some improved function. Adaptations are very fit for their functions and are produced by natural selection. Adaptations can take many forms: behavior that allows better predator avoidance, a protein that works best at body temperature, or an anatomical feature that allows the body to access valuable new resources - all of which can be adaptations. Many of the things that most impress us in nature are believed to be adaptations.

What descriptive term is applied to the type of diene represented by 2,4-hexadiene?.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The descriptive term applied to the type of diene represented by 2,4-hexadiene is conjugated diene.

Dienes are compounds which contains two double bonds. These dienes can be non conjugated or conjugated.

Conjugated diene are those compound which have two double bonds joined by a single σ bond. Conjugated dienes can also be called 1,3-diene. To know if diene is conjugated or non conjugated, sp³ hybridization is to b checked and the number of double bonds and single sigma bond is checked.

Conjugated dienes are found in many different molecules. 2,4-hexadiene is a conjugated diene with two carbon-carbon double bonds that are separated by one sigma bond.

The stabilization of dienes by conjugation is better than the aromatic stabilization. Conjugated dienes are more stable than non conjugated or cumulative diene because it has higher electron density of molecules delocalized.

Need help with chemistry question

This is a multiple question and here are all the answers.

Qestion 1.) Which is not a permissible set of quantum numbers? Identify the subshell (if the quantum numbers identify a possible state).

I. n = 2, ℓ = 0, mℓ = 0

II. n = 3, ℓ = 2, mℓ = 2

III. n = 2, ℓ = 1, mℓ = –1

IV. n = 3, ℓ = 3, mℓ = 0

V. n = 4, ℓ = 3, mℓ = –3

Answer:

The combination that is not permissible is IV. n = 3, ℓ = 3, mℓ = 0.

Se below to identify the subshells.

Explanation:

The electrons are identified by a set of four quantum numbers.

The first quantum number, n, is the principal quantum number and it tells the shell. The second quantum number,ℓ , is the azymuthal quantum number and it tells the subshell.

The letters used to indicate the subshells are:

s: ℓ = 0

p: ℓ = 1

d: ℓ = 2

f: ℓ = 3

The third and fourth quantum numbers are mℓ (magnetic quantum number) and s (spin).

The rules that apply to predict which quantum numbers are possible are:

n: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (an integer greater than 0)

ℓ: 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1 (an integer less than n)

mℓ: an integer from - ℓ to + ℓ

s: - 1/2 or +1/2

Two electrons in an atom cannot have the same set of 4 quantum numbers.

With that:

I. n = 2, ℓ = 0, mℓ = 0

This combination of three quantum numbers is permissible, since n is a positive integer, ℓ is less than n, and mℓ is in the interval +ℓ to - ℓ.

The combination n = 2 and ℓ = 0 means the subshell is 2p.

II. n = 3, ℓ = 2, mℓ = 2

This combination of three quantum numbers is permissible, since n is a positive integer, ℓ is less than n, and mℓ is in the interval +ℓ to - ℓ.

The combination n = 3 and ℓ = 2 means the subshell is 3d.

III. n = 2, ℓ = 1, mℓ = –1

This combination of three quantum numbers is permissible, since n is a positive integer, ℓ is less than n, and mℓ is in the interval +ℓ to - ℓ.

The combination n = 2 and ℓ = 1 means the subshell is 2p.

IV. n = 3, ℓ = 3, mℓ = 0

This set of three quantum numbers is not permissible, since ℓ = 3 is not less than n = 3.

V. n = 4, ℓ = 3, mℓ = –3

This set of three quantum numbers is permissible, since n is a positive integer, ℓ is less than n, and mℓ is in the interval +ℓ to - ℓ.

The combination n = 4 and ℓ = 3 means the subshell is 4f.

Question 2.)What is the difference between the 2pz and the 3pz orbitals? Which quantum numbers in the orbital designation are different? Which will be the same? What does this indicate about the orbitals?

Answer:

The difference between $2p_z$ and $3p_z$ (note that the letter z is a subscript) is in the first quantum number.

The first quantum number indicates the main energy level and so it is related with the size of the orbital.

So, the 3pz orbital is bigger than the 2pz orbital.

The second quantum number is related to the letter p, so the same letter indicates the same shape of the orbital. Remember the table for the letters used to indicate the subshells are:

s: ℓ = 0

p: ℓ = 1

d: ℓ = 2

f: ℓ = 3

So, the scond quantum number for the two orbitals is ℓ = 1.

The subscript indicates the space orientation. So, since both orbitals have the same subscript, z, they have the same orientation.

In conclusion, the only difference between those orbitals is the size of the orbitals, but they have the same shape and orientation.

3.)What is the maximum number of electrons that can have n = 3 and ms = + ½ ?

Answer:

9 electrons

Explanation:

Using the rules, for n = 3

ℓ can be 0, 1, or 2;

mℓ can be 0 for ℓ = 0,

mℓ can be -1, 0, or -1 for for ℓ = 1, and

mℓ can be -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 for ℓ = 2,

You can get the possible sets of quantum numbers (with n = 3):

(3, 0, 0, +1/2)

(3, 0, 0, -1/2)

(3, 1, 0, +1/2)

(3, 1, 0, -1/2)

(3, 1, 1, +1/2)

(3, 1, 1, -1/2)

(3, 1, -1, +1/2)

(3, 1, -1, -1/2)

(3, 2, 0, +1/2)

(3, 2, 0, -1/2)

(3, 2, -2, +1/2)

(3, 2, -2, -1/2)

(3, 2, -1, +1/2)

(3, 2, -1, -1/2)

(3, 2, 1, +1/2)

(3, 2, 1, -1/2)

(3, 2, 2, +1/2)

(3, 2, 2, -1/2)

So, those are a total of 18 electrons from which half have n = 3 and ms = +1/2.

Hence, 9 electrons can have n = 3 and ms = +1/2.

Physical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an odorless, white crystalline solid or fine powder. It has a slightly alkaline taste. Its density is 2.20 g mL-1 and it decomposes in temperatures above 50 ºC. The decomposition yields to sodium carbonate. It is highly soluble in water and poorly soluble in acetone and methanol. It is insoluble in ethanol.

Chemical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compounds, it means the compound has a character acids an basic at the same time. It is highly soluble in water, resulting in a slighty alkaline solution.
