Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.
Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.
The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Br + Br-> Br2 (covalent bond)
bond formation releases energy, as the Br's are in a lower energy state like Br2
Amines are derivatives of
Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;
Primary Amines: In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.
Secondary Amines: In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.
Tertiary Amines: In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.
Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula
C₅H₁₃N.
