Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.
The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:
The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.

Answer:
1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
Note: there is a mistake in formula, the correct formula is (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O-C(CH₃)₃ not (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O(CH₃)₃, because oxygen is a divalent compound.
Explanation:
<em>Structural formula is attached</em>
IUPAC naming rules
1. start numbering the chain from the functional group. In this compound we start from oxygen side.
2. Here we can see that at position 1 there is an oxy group along with a tertiary carbon having three methyl groups. So we write it as 1-tert-butoxy. Which means that there is a methoxy group at position 1 along with a tertiary carbon.
3. At position 2 we can see that there is a methyl group attached to the main chain, so we write it as 2-methyl.
4. Now we count the total number of carbons in the main chain. As we can see that there are 3 carbons in the remaining or parent chain, so we write it as propane
5. So the IUPAC name of the compound will be 1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
