Chemistry

1 answer:

fenix001 [56]3 years ago

6 0

Answer: option a and d

Explanation:

Option A- Benzene undergoes substitution reaction

Example : benzene reacts with chlorine to form chlorobenzene, in the presence of Iron

(iii) chloride as a catalyst

C6H6 + Cl2 ---> C6H5Cl + HCl

Option D- Benzene also undergoes addition reaction

Example: benzene reacts with hydrogen , in the presence of nickel as a catalyst to form

cyclohexane

C6H6 + 3H2 ---> C6H12

Reasons why Option B isn't the answer

Although benzeme has degree of unsaturation but it's not five degree of unsaturation.

Benzene has 6 carbon atoms and 4 degrees of unsaturation (1 ring and 3 double

bonds).

If you work backwards and double the degrees of unsaturation you have 8 degrees of

unsaturation instead of 5.

Option C - Benzene isn't a saturated hydrocarbon

What was done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function g(x) = 1/6 x

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Vertically Shrunk by a factor of 1/6

Explanation:

Parent Formula: f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

a - vertical shrink/stretch and x-reflections

b - horizontal shrink/stretch and y-reflections

c - horizontal movement left/right

d - vertical movement up/down

Since we are only modifying a, we are dealing with vertical shrink/stretch:

Since a < 1 (1/6 < 1), we are dealing with a vertical shrink of 1/6.

Since a > 0 (1/6 > 0), we do not have a reflection over the x-axis.

Starting with magnesium and oxygen atoms, use Lewis diagrams to show the formation of the

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.

By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

The structure is found in the attachment below

What happens to isotopes that are unstable?

Lesechka [4]

Explanation:

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which differs in the number of neutrons. The isotopes which are unstable are known as radioactive isotope. A radioactive (unstable )isotope can undergo 3 decay process:

1. Alpha Decay: In this decay process, a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The particle released has a charge of +2 and a mass of 4 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta-minus decay: In this decay process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron. the particle released during this process is a beta-particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Beta-plus decay: In this decay process, a protons gets converted into a neutron and electron-neutrino particle. The particle released during this process is a positron particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta$

Isotopes which are unstable in nature can undergo these 3 decay processes.
