Choose the larger atom from each pair, if possible.

Chemistry

Ksivusya [100]3 years ago

Answer:

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar in size

d. Se or Sn ⇒ Sn

Explanation:

The larger atom has a larger atomic radius. We have to consider how varies the atomic radius for chemical elements in the Periodic Table. In a group (column), the atomic radius increases from top to bottom while in a period (file), it increases from right to left.

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

They are in the <u>same group</u>. Sn is on the top, so it has a larger atomic radius.

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

They are in the <u>same period</u>. Ga is located at the left so it has a larger atomic radius.

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Bi is located more at the bottom, so it would be larger than Sn, but Bi is also at the right side, so it would be smaller than Bi. Thus, they have comparable sizes.

d. Se or Sn⇒ Sn

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Se is located at the top and right side compared to Sn, so Sn is the larger atom.

Alkynes are reduced to trans alkenes by a process called dissolving metal reduction. The reaction uses sodium or lithium metal a
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of the electrons is illustrated in the picture attached to this answer. It is a four-step reaction mechanism.

First STEP: The first step involves the transfer of an electron from sodium to form a radical anion.

Second STEP: This radical anion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia in a bid to neutralize itself (hence the hydrogen becomes bonded to the anion).

Third STEP: The sodium (from NaNH₂ formed) transfers an electron again to produce a vinyl carbanion.

Fourth STEP: The carbanion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia (like in the second step) to form a neutral trans-alkene.

NOTE: The circled numbers denote each step while the mechanism on the left represents the use of any alkyl group (R and R') while the mechanism on the right assumes both alkyl groups are methyl. Hence, 2-butyne started the reaction and the final product was trans-2-butene.

A) Briefly discuss hydrolysis of sicl4​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Types of Hydrolysis

There are several types of hydrolysis, and we will look at them in brief below.

Salts: This is the most common type of hydrolysis. Hydrolysis of salts generally refers to the reaction of salt with water where it involves the interaction between cations or anions of salts and water. During hydrolysis, a salt breaks down to form ions, completely or partially depending upon the solubility factor.

Acid and Base: Acid–base-catalysed hydrolysis can be found during the hydrolysis of esters or amides. Here, the process of hydrolysis occurs when water or hydroxyl ion reacts with the carbon of the carbonyl group of the ester or amide where new compounds are formed. The products of both hydrolysis are compounds with carboxylic acid groups.

ATP: Most biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms are in the form of ATP hydrolysis which takes place with the help of enzymes acting as catalysts. The catalytic action of enzymes allows the hydrolysis or breaking down of proteins, lipids, oils, fats and carbohydrates.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."
