The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction.
<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>
Hello!
Take for example the heating of water.
When heating liquid water from room temperature (25 °C) to the boiling point (100 °C), adding heat results in a direct increase in the temperature. This kind of heat is called sensible heat, because we can sense the effect of the added energy.
But when you reach 100 °C, there is a phase change from liquid to vapour, and the added heat is used to produce the phase change, and no increase in temperature is observed, only the phase change. This kind of heat is called latent heat.
Have a nice day!
Molecules with a plane of symmetry between the chiral centers are achiral and meso. From the given molecules (Picture attached) only (A) compound 1 is meso.
When compounds possess a plane of symmetry between the chiral centers they are called achiral or meso compounds. Among the given compounds (A) compound 1 have a plane of symmetry. So we can say compound one is a meso or achiral compound. Compounds two, three, and four have no plane of symmetry, as you can see in the structures attached. So all other compounds (compound 2, compound 3, and compound 4) except compound one are not meso or achiral.
You can also learn about meso compounds from the following question:
