Answer:
a) IUPAC Names:
1) (<em>trans</em>)-but-2-ene
2) (<em>cis</em>)-but-2-ene
3) but-1-ene
b) Balance Equation:
C₄H₁₀O + H₃PO₄ → C₄H₈ + H₂O + H₃PO₄
As H₃PO₄ is catalyst and remains unchanged so we can also write as,
C₄H₁₀O → C₄H₈ + H₂O
c) Rule:
When more than one alkene products are possible then the one thermodynamically stable is favored. Thermodynamically more substituted alkenes are stable. Furthermore, trans alkenes are more stable than cis alkenes. Hence, in our case the major product is trans alkene followed by cis. The minor alkene is the 1-butene as it is less substituted.
d) C is not Geometrical Isomer:
For any alkene to demonstrate geometrical isomerism it is important that there must be two different geminal substituents attached to both carbon atoms. In 1-butene one carbon has same geminal substituents (i.e H atoms). Hence, it can not give geometrical isomers.
Answer:
C. A linear, nonpolar molecule
Explanation:
Molecules which are alike usually have the same degree of pull which results in them sharing electrons. This sharing of electrons is known as the molecules exhibiting Covalent bonding between them.
The equal pull also results in the cancelling out of electrons and favoring non polar bonds due to the absence of free electrons which would have been able to interact with H2O in a polar binding system.
Your answer would come out to 18 electrons
They have six valence electrons
