Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.

An archer pulls her bowstring back 0.370 m by exerting a force that increases uniformly from zero to 264 N. (a) What is the equi

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

713.51 N/m

Explanation:

Hook's Law: This law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension in an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force.

From hook's law,

F = ke ...........................Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the bowstring, e = Extension/compression of the bowstring, k = Spring constant of the bow.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ............................ Equation 2

Given: F = 264 N, e = 0.37 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 264/0.37

k = 713.51 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the bow = 713.51 N/m

<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a $sp^2$ hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
