Answer is: b. mass number; atomic number.

The superscript is mass number and the subscript is atomic number.

Atomic number(Z) is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element..  

Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Helium (symbol: He) is a chemical element with two protons, two electrons and two neutrons.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Mass number means the total number of protons and total number of neutrons present in an atom. Mass number is written at the top left of the symbol of atom.

Whereas atomic number means the total number of protons present in the atom. Atomic number is written at the bottom left of the symbol of atom.

For example, in ^{12}_{6}C, the number 12 denotes mass number of carbon atom whereas 6 denotes the atomic number of carbon atom.

Thus, we can conclude that in the symbol ^{4}_{2}He, the superscript 4 is the mass number for helium and the subscript 2 is the atomic number for helium.

Comparing the 2-bromobutane + methoxide and 2-bromobutane + t-butoxide reactions, choose the statements that BEST describe the d
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used

Explanation:

When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.

Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.

The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.

The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.
