Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
Answer:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
Carbon carbon triple bonds
The absorbance reported by the defective instrument was 0.3933.
Absorbance A = - log₁₀ T
Tm = transmittance measured by spectrophotometer
Tm = 0.44
Absorbance reported in this equipment = -log₁₀ (0.44) = 0.35654
True absorbance can be calculated by true transmittance, Tm = T+S(α-T)
S = fraction of stray light = 6%= 6/100 = 0.06
α= 1, ideal case
T = true transmittance of the sample
Tm = T+S(α-T)
now, T= Tm-S/ 1-S = 0.44-0.06/ 1-0.06 = 0.404233
therefore, actual reading measured is A = -log₁₀ T = -log₁₀ (0.404233)
i.e; 0.3933
