Radical chlorination of pentane is a poor way to prepare 1-chloropentane, but radical chlorination of neopentane, (CH3)4C, is a

good way to prepare neopentyl chloride, (CH3)3CCH2Cl. Why?

Radical chlorination is not as selective as radical bromination. the rate in which it reacts with primary, secondary or tertiary hydrogens is not that great of a difference. 

So, in pentane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, by the reaction with Cl2, the chlorine group can attach to any of the carbons which would form many isomers and not specifically 1-=chloropentane. In neopentane, (CH3)4C, it is different. each of the H atoms is equivalent. So no matter which one be substituted, only one product, (CH3)CCH2Cl, can be prepared.

Typical frequencies for several types of electromagnetic radiation are given below. Calculate the energy of each type of radiati
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by :

E=h\nu

Where, h is the Planck's constant

(a) A gamma ray, \nu = 1.64\times 10^{20}\ Hz

Energy,

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 1.64\times 10^{20}\\E=1.08\times 10^{-13}\ J

(b) A microwave, \nu = 4.95\times 10^{10}\ Hz

Energy,

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 4.95\times 10^{10}\\E=3.28\times 10^{-23}\ J

(c) A AM radio wave, \nu = 2\times 10^{6}\ Hz

Energy,

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 2\times 10^{6}\\E=1.32\times 10^{-27}\ J

Therefore, this is the required solution.

What characteristics or characteristics contribute to the attraction between earth and the moon​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The moon's gravity pulls at the Earth, causing predictable rises and falls in sea levels known as tides. To a much smaller extent, tides also occur in lakes, the atmosphere, and within Earth's crust. High tides are when water bulges upward, and low tides are when water drops down.

What is Chemical Bonding?<br>Explain please.​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Chemical bonds are how atoms, and even molecules join together.

Explanation:

There are two main types of primary chemical bonds. While secondary links relate to molecules, primary ties are atom to atom. This answer explains basic primary bonds only.

One must comprehend what a valence shell is before I proceed. The outer electron orbital of an atom is known as the valence shell. Most of the time (except from hydrogen), atoms desire to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, thus they form bonds with other atoms to accomplish this.

<em>All bonds result in a new chemically different molecule. Now, the two types are:</em>

  1. Covalent: When two atoms combine their electrons to fill their valence shells. The atoms are joined together by this "sharing."
  2. Ionic: When one atom <em>transfers</em> an electron to another atom in order to fulfill the valence electron requirement. Because electrons have a negative charge, the atom that <em>produced </em>them gains a positive charge as a result of losing its negative charge. The atom that received the electron therefore acquires a negative charge. Because opposing charges attract, it seems sense that the charged atoms bind as a result.
