The definition of a gem is "a precious stone, cut and polished for jewelry. They are all minerals. Some highly desirable gemstones may not be suitable for jewelry, yet be very collectible, like sphene. Others, like those in the corundum family, are prized for color and hardness, like emeralds and diamonds. Further, some common minerals, when polished, make beautiful pieces. With all that said, i woukd go with rarer.

Answer:

1) acetylide

2) enol

3) aldehydes

4) tautomers

5) alkynes

6) Hydroboration

7) Keto

8) methyl ketones

Explanation:

Acetylide anions (R-C≡C^-) is a strong nucleophile. Being a strong nucleophile, we can use it to open up an epoxide ring by SN2 mechanism. The attack of the acetylide ion occurs from the backside of the epoxide ring. It must attack at the less substituted side of the epoxide.

Oxomercuration of alkynes and hydroboration of alkynes are similar reactions in that they both yield carbonyl compounds that often exhibit keto-enol tautomerism.

The equilibrium position may lie towards the Keto form of the compound. Usually, if terminal alkynes are used, the product of the reaction is a methyl ketone.

Conduction - by touch
Convection - hot air rises, cold air sinks
Insulation - to insulate or capture heat
Radiation - by waves
Direct contact means touch, therefore the answer would be conduction.

When you have a free metal ion, how do the energies of these orbitals relate to one another (are they the same, different, etc.)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The energy of the orbitals are the same

Explanation:

For a free metal ion, all the d-orbitals are of the same energy. The five d-orbitals are said to be five fold degenerate in the free metal ion. Hence all the d-orbitals will possess the same energy irrespective of which one is first filled.

In an octahedral or tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals will loose their degeneracy and become different in energy based on their orientation towards the ligands.
