Answer:

2,2,3-trimethylbutane

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the rules for naming alkanes.

1. Find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.

There is a four-carbon chain (blue).

2. Name the main chain.

The chain has four C atoms, so its base name is butane.

3. Identify and name all the substituents.

There are three CH₃ groups (methyl, blue bonds).

4. Number the main chain from the end that gives the lowest possible locants to the substituents.

From the left-hand end, the locants are 2,2,3. From the right-hand end, they are 2,3,3. The first point of difference is the second locant. 2 < 3, so we number from the left.

5. Put the names of the substituents with their locants in alphabetical order in front of the base name with no spaces.

Use numbers to connect numbers and hyphens to connect numbers and letters.

The IUPAC name is 2,2,3-trimethylbutane.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates. When compound B is treated with sodium methoxide, an elimination reaction predominates.

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are the one which differs in the structural formula.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates.

That means sodium methoxide is a strong base and a strong nucleophile.

But when it reacts with primary alkyl halides it forms a substitution product and when it reacts with secondary alkyl halide it forms mostly elimination product.

The reaction and the structures of A and B are shown below:

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas = $V_1=3.5 L$

Final volume of the gas = $V_2=?$

Initial pressure of the gas = $P_1=0.8 atm$

Final volume of the gas = $P_2=0.5 atm$

Using Boyle's law:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$0.8 atm \times 3.5 L=0.5 atm\times V_2$

$V_2=5.6 L$

Hence,the correct answer is option A.

In large generators in power plants, ___________ rotate inside a coil of wire to produce an electric current

lapo4ka [179]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Magnets

In large generators in power plants, magnets rotate inside a coil of wire to produce an electric current.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Generators are devices that use electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
In power plants, large wheel known as turbine that rotates when pushed by steam,wind, or water and provides mechanical energy to a generator.
Generators are used in power plants and have very large quantities of copper wire spinning around inside very large magnets, at very high speeds. A turbine spins the shaft that runs the generator. Eventually, electric current is generated.

1. Take a look at all the elements in period 3. What do you notice? *

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

beacause all the elements in period 3 has different valence electrons hence you look at the first element in period 3 is sodium which has a valence electron of 1 when you go across the period to the right their valence electron decreases to be negative
