Answer:

a. The longest chain is chosen incorrectly.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly draw the structural formula of the 1,3-Dimethylbutane:

CH_3-CH_2-CH(CH3)-CH_2-CH_3

Thus, we can see that the correct name should be 3-methylpentane since the longest chain was chosen incorrectly, as it must have five carbon atoms.

Regards!

An empty beaker weighs 39.09 g
Vinvika [58]
<span>To work out the volume of something from its density, use the compound measures triangle: mass over density and volume. To find volume that the beaker holds, divide the mass by the density. V = (388.15 - 39.09)/1. V = 349.06g/cm3. To find the weight of the beaker and the contents, first work out the weight (mass) of the mercury, with this formula: mass = d x v. M = 13.5 x 349.06. M = 4712.31. Then add on the weight of the beaker (39.09g). The total weight is 4751.40g.</span>

Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more  the reason is the  interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example  A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.
