Is a planar carbon "backbone" possible for propane? Explain.

Chemistry
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not

Explanation:

We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.

However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.

Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".

Pls help! Polonium has a large, unstable nucleus. Through which process is it most likely to become stable?
Stella [2.4K]

The process through which Polonium is most likely to become stable is: B. alpha decay.

An unstable element refers to a chemical element that lose particles because its nucleus contain an excess of internal energy (neutron or proton).

This ultimately implies that, an unstable element is radioactive in nature.

In Science, some examples of an unstable element are:

  • Tritium.
  • Bismuth-209 .
  • Xenon.
  • Polonium.

Polonium is a chemical element with a large, unstable nucleus.

Basically, the most stable isotope of Polonium is Polonium-209, which typically undergoes an alpha decay to form lead-205 and the emission of an alpha particle.

⇒  ^{209}_{84}Po ----> ^{205}_{82}Pb \;+\; ^{4}_{2}\alpha

In conclusion, we can deduce from the above chemical equation that Polonium is most likely to become stable through an alpha decay.
