Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.

Answer:
5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Selenium:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
Arsenic:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.
Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.
