Answer:
The answer is neopentyl alcohol. (CH₃)₃C-CH₂-OH
Explanation:
This alcohol cannot be synthesized by the hydroboration–oxidation of an alkene since the reaction of hydroboration–oxidation go through steps that involved the addition of BH₃ into the original structure. In the case of neopentyl alcohol, if we carry out retro synthetic by the hydroboration–oxidation, we will find the original alkene is (CH₃)₃C=CH₂ which is impossible since the center carbon atom has 5 bonds.
The condition for hydroboration–oxidation reaction is that the alkene must have the structure of R-CH=CH₂
Answer:
Density, d = 1.779 g/cm³
Explanation:
The density of a material is given by its mass per unit volume.
Here, height of a piece of magnesium cylinder, h = 5.62 cm
Its diameter, d = 1.34 cm
Radius = 0.67 cm
Volume of he cylinder,
So, the density of the sample is 1.779 g/cm³.
Answer:
(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
(c) sp³
(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Explanation:
<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>
<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>
S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>
Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>
SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.
<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>
No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
