Draw structural formula of a cyclic secondary alcohol with the molecular formula c3h6o.

Chemistry

zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago

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).

How is electronegativity used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?
madam [21]

Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

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.

What is relative isotopic mass
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a dimensionless physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass constant. The atomic mass constant is defined as being 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
