Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen

t melting points. At first glance, one might expect benzhydrol to exhibit the higher melting point. Why might one think this?

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

2. Which of the following accurately pairs
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. Electron-negative charge

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10³¹Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton = 1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron = 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom.
