Answer:

(Z)-(2-methylbut-1-en-1-yl)benzene

Explanation:

In the E2 elimination reaction, we will have a <u>single-step mechanism</u>. In this single step, we need an <u>anti-peri-planar geometry</u>. In other words, we need a specific configuration for the <u>leaving group</u> and the <u>H that would be removed</u>. These 2 atoms must have an opposite configuration when the base attacks the hydrogen.

With this in mind, we have to <u>rotate</u> the molecule in order to obtain the desired geometry (see figure). When we do this, the <u>methyl group</u> would be placed on <u>top</u> and the <u>ethyl group</u> at the <u>bottom</u>.  

Finally, when the elimination takes place (<u>blue arrows</u>) the configuration of the final alkene would be "Z" due to the previous rotation that we did in order to obtain the correct configuration for the elimination.

 <span>You have to use a Newman projection to make sure that the H on C#2 is anti-coplanar with the Br on C#1. (Those are the two things that are going to be eliminated to make the alkene.) 

My Newman projection looks like this when it's in the right configuration: 
Front carbon (C#2) has ethyl group straight up, H down/left, and CH3 down/right 
Back carbon (C#1) has H straight down, Ph up/left, and Br up/right. 

Then when you eliminate the H from C#2 and the Br from C#1, you will have Ph and the ethyl group on the same side of the molecule, and you'll have the remaining H and CH3 on the same side of the molecule. 

This is going to give you (Z)-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butene.</span>

Can u see water vapour by a microscope?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

It can be formed either through a process of evaporation or sublimation. Unlike clouds, fog, or mist which are simply suspended particles of liquid water in the air, water vapour itself cannot be seen because it is in gaseous form

What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hybridization: sp

Electron geometry: linear

Molecular geometry: linear

Explanation:

H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.
