Structural formula is defined as the formula in which atoms are arranged in the molecule of a compound.

Alcohol: It is an organic compound having $-OH$ i.e. hydroxyl functional group on an aliphatic atoms of carbon.

Secondary alcohol: In this case, hydroxyl functional group is attached to carbon atom and that carbon atom is further linked with another two carbon atoms either in straight chain or cyclic form.

For example: the general structure of secondary alcohol is shown in figure (1), where R is an alkyl group.

Now, the given chemical formula is $C_{3}H_{6}O$ , three carbon atoms are linked with 5 hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl functional group is attached to carbon atom.

The cyclic structural fromula of secondary alcohol is shown in figure (2).

Looking at the different chemical structures, which one(s) might be able to hold

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

c) Fullerene and carbon nanotubes because they have empty spaces inside the molecules

Explanation:

Fullerene and carbon nanotubes would be the most desired in order to hold the cancer fighting drugs and to carry them through the body safely.

These molecules have empty spaces in them.
The cavities makes it possible for storage.
As they pass through the body, they can be held perfectly well to their target site of action.

What is crystal field splitting?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Crystal field splitting is the difference in energy between d orbitals of ligands. Crystal field splitting number is denoted by the capital Greek letter Δ. Crystal field splitting explains the difference in color between two similar metal-ligand complexes.

An unknown compound has a percent composition of 52.10% potassium, 15.8% carbon, and 32.1% oxygen. The molar mass of the compoun

lianna [129]

To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

Mass Moles
K 52.10 52.10/39.10 = 1.33 1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C 15.8 15.8/12 = 1.32 1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O 32.1 32.1 / 16 = 2.01 2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.
