Chemistry
1 answer:
den301095 [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metallocenes are cyclic organometallic compounds with a double pentadienyl structure consisting of a metal atom in between the two structures. In ferrocene, Fe is the metal in between the two pentadienyl structures.

Nitration reaction is the reaction of nitric acid in the presence of sulphuric acid. When metallocenes, (e.g. ferrocene) are being treated with this stong oxidizing agent (nitric acid), oxidation of organometallic compound takes place. When this oxidation occurs, it oxidizes the oxidation state of the Fe metal from +2 to +3 in ferrocene, and it becomes unstable. Then, as a result, the whole metallocene structure gets destroyed.

What forms when all of the continents on earths surface merge into one massive landform?
Nutka1998 [239]
Continents are generally the largest landforms on Earth. The Eurasian continent, a combination of Europe and Asia (since they are in contact for thousands of miles along the Ural Mountains) is by far the largest landform. Even without including Europe, Asia is the largest of the individual continents.
Hope this helped.
