Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Poly means many and polyatomic ions means an ion(s) with two or more different atoms.
Out of the given options, phosphate ion is the polyatomic ion which has an ionic charge of 3-.
The formula depicting a phosphate ion is .
Whereas Nitrate, Sulfate, Hydroxide , Bicarbonate does not carry or have a 3- ionic charge.
Answer:
The compound a is 1-methyl cyclohexene (see attachment for structure).
Explanation:
The reaction of 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane with sodium methoxide is a <u>second-order reaction</u> since the <u>methoxide ion is a strong base</u> and also a strong nucleophile. This ion attacks the alkyl halide faster than the alkyl halide can ionize to produce a first-order reaction. However, we can not see the product of nucleophilic substitution. The SN₂ mechanism is blocked due to the <u>impediment of the 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane</u>. The main product, according to the Zaitsev rule, is the 1-methyl cyclohexene, thus forming a <u>double bond</u>.
Then, this cyclohexene is hydrogenated to form the cyclohexane.
