Sugar is a nonconductor. When it dissolves into water it dissolves as a covalent molecule. As a covalent molecule it does not conduct electricity in the way that ionic compounds like salt would.

Which element is capable of forming long chains by forming single, double, or triple bonds with itself?

gayaneshka [121]

Catenation is the property by which it can make bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains. Hence, carbon, with the least diffuse valence shell p orbital is capable of forming longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements which bond via higher valence shell orbitals.

Write an equation that shows the reaction between acetic acid and triethylamine (CH3CH2)3N. Draw all non-bonding lone electron p

Anni [7]

Answer:

-) Acid-base reaction

-) Carboxylic acid, alcohol, alkene and ketone

Explanation:

For the reaction between acetic acid and triethylamine, we will have an acid-base reaction. Therefore a salt would be produced in this case an "ammonium quaternary salt". Also, we have to remember that on this reaction the acid is the acetic acid and the base is the triethylamine. See figure 1

For the second question, we have to check the structure of Prostaglandin E1 in which we have the functional groups:

1) Carboxylic acid

2) Alcohol

3) Alkene

4) Ketone

See figure 2.

I hope it helps!
