Answer:

b. electronegativity

Explanation:

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the _Electronegativity_.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron which is loosely held. Polar molecules often possess such properties. The Halogen group (group 17) is famous for such property because it has the highest electronegativity in periodic table.

In a two-step synthesis, C6H11Br is converted into C6H12O. From the structure of the product, molecular formula of the starting
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid  base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism

Does the identity of an atom change if we add or subtract electrons or neutrons? Explain.
AURORKA [14]
Adding or removing neutrons from the nucleus are how isotopes are created. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and they alone determine the charge of the nucleus. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes the charge of the nucleus and changes that atom's atomic number.

What is the molarity of formaldehyde in a solution containing 0.25 grams of formaldehyde per mL?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

8.33mol/L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the molar mass of of formaldehyde (CH2O). This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH2O = 12 + (2x1) + 16 = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30g/mol

Mass of CH2O from the question = 0.25g

Number of mole CH2O =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of CH2O = 0.25/30 = 8.33x10^-3mole

Now we can calculate the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) as follow:

Number of mole of CH2O = 8.33x10^-3mole

Volume = 1mL

Converting 1mL to L, we have:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore 1mL = 1/1000 = 1x10^-3L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 8.33x10^-3mole/1x10^-3L

Molarity = 8.33mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) is 8.33mol/L
