Answer :

The basic rules for naming of hydrocarbons are :

First select the longest possible carbon chain.

The longest possible carbon chain should include the carbons of double or triple bonds.

The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne by adding the suffix -yne.

The numbering is done in such a way that first carbon of double or triple bond gets the lowest number.

The carbon atoms of the double or triple bond get the preference over the other substituents present in the parent chain.

If two or more similar alkyl groups are present in a compound, the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra- and so on are used to specify the number of times of the alkyl groups in the chain.

Choose the covalent compounds from the following choices Br2 MgS SO2 KF

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

 

                Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent Bond

                

                Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent Bond

            

                Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

 

For Br₂;

                    E.N of Bromine      =   2.96

                    E.N of Bromine      =   2.96

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.00          (Non Polar Covalent Bond)


For MgS;

                    E.N of Sulfur               =   2.58

                    E.N of Magnesium      =   1.31

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                  1.27          (Ionic Bond)


For SO₂;

                    E.N of Oxygen      =   3.44

                    E.N of Sulfur          =   2.58

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.86          (Polar Covalent Bond)


For KF;

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Potassium      =   0.82

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                3.16          (Ionic Bond)

Result: The Bonds in Br₂ and SO₂ are Covalent in Nature.

Write a chemical equation for the following decomposition reaction.
Aneli [31]
<span>the chemical equation will be Ni(OH)2(s)------>heat---> NiO(s) + H2O(g)
</span><span>we know that the heat supplied to decompose the compound.In the result the product H2O is assumed to be in the vapor state so that is gas.

hope it helps

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions sn and ag
loris [4]
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:

Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag

Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:

2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag

Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:

2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag

And you're done.

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?
Orlov [11]
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.
