Answer:

Chiral:

3-Methyl-2-butanol

Achiral:

1-Pentanol

3-Pentanol

3-Methyl-1-butanol

Explanation:

Only the molecule that bears a carbon atom surrounded by 4 different groups can be said to be Chiral, the other molecules don't satisfy this property.

Answer:

C5H12O has <em>eight isomers</em>  

Chiral isomers are:  

Pentan-2-ol

2-Methylbutan-1-ol

3-Methylbutan-2-ol

Achiral isomers are:

Pentan-1-ol

Pentan-3-ol

3-Methylbutan-1-ol

3-Methylbutan-2-ol

2, 2-dimethylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

C5H12O has eight isomers out of which three are chiral and five are achiral in nature

The isomers that have carbon atom(s) that are surrounded by four different groups are Chiral in nature while those that do not have such carbon atom(s) are achiral.  

Thus, only pentan-2-ol, 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3-methylbutan-2-ol which have carbon atoms surrounded by four different groups are chiral. The carbon atom carrying the hydroxyl (-OH) group is the chiral carbon atom in these three isomers. While the carbon atoms in the other five isomers are achiral.

Why do elements in the same group have a similar reactivity?
katrin2010 [14]
Elements in the same group have the same number of outer-shell electrons or "valence" electrons, so they tend to react similarly, as they can form similar bonds.

How many liters of C3H6O are present in a sample weighing 25.6 grams?
lawyer [7]

To Find :

Number of moles of C₃H₆O present in a sample weighing 25.6 grams.

Solution :

Molecular mass of C₃H₆O is :

M = (6×12) + (6×1) + (16×1) grams

M = 94 grams/mol

We know, number of moles of 25.6 grams of C₃H₆O is :

n = \dfrac{Given \ Mass \ Of \ C_3H_6O }{Molar\ Mass \ Of \ C_3H_6O }\\\\n = \dfrac{25.6}{94}\ mole\\\\n = 0.27 \ mole

Hence, this is the required solution.

The Aufbau Principle describes that
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

electrons fill lower energy levels first before occupying higher energy levels.

Explanation:

The Aufbau's principle describes that electrons fill lower energy levels first before occupying higher energy levels.

In writing the electronic configuration of atoms, the Aufbau's principle is one of the most important principles to consider.

It states that "sublevels with with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order.
