The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Why is a terminal alkyne favored when sodium amide (NaNH2) is used in an elimination reaction with 2,3-dichlorohexane? product. A) The terminal alkyne is more stable than the internal alkyne and is naturally the favored B) The terminal alkyne is not favored in this reaction. C) The resonance favors the formation of the terminal rather than internal alkyne. D) The strong base deprotonates the terminal alkyne and removes it from the equilibrium.

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Answer:

E) The positions of the Cl atoms induce the net formation of the terminal alkyne.

Explanation:

In this reaction, sterric hindrance plays a very important role. We know that sodamide is a strong base, it tends to attack at the most accessible position.

The first deprotonation yields an alkene. The strong base attacks at the terminal position again and yields the terminal alkyne. Thus the structure of the dihalide makes the terminal hydrogen atoms most accessible to the base. Hence the answer.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).

Terms:

  • Cation: a positively charged ion
  • Anion: a negatively charge ion.
  • Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Zina [86]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs due to electrostatic attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion.

A metal and a ligand are bound by a coordinate covalent bond or a dative bond. This bond occurs due to donation of electron pairs from ligands to available orbitals on metals.

The formation of coordinate bonds is evident when neutral molecules or negative ions with non bonding electrons donate same to empty metal orbitals. This is sometimes shown by an arrow pointing from the ligands to the metal center.

For instance; tetraammine copper II ion is formed when four ammonia molecules donate a lone pair each to available vacant orbitals of the copper metal center to form [Cu(NH3)4]^2+.
