All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

If there are more electrons than protons, the atom becomes a negative ion.

If there are fewer electrons than protons, the atom becomes a positive ion.

The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The electrons are outside the nucleus, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.

Metals have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and form positive ions.

An unknown gas is found to diffuse through a porous membrane 4.11 times more slowly than h2 what is the molecular weight of the

kirill [66]

To answer this question, you need to know Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:
Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol

Identify reagents necessary to convert cyclohexane into 1,3-cylohexadiene: notice that the starting material has no leaving grou

Vinvika [58]

1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.

1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.

2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.

3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.

4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,
