Answer:

The order of reactivity towards electrophilic susbtitution is shown below:

a. anisole > ethylbenzene>benzene>chlorobenzene>nitrobenzene

b. p-cresol>p-xylene>toluene>benzene

c.Phenol>propylbenzene>benzene>benzoic acid

d.p-chloromethylbenzene>p-methylnitrobenzene> 2-chloro-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene> 1-methyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Explanation:

Electron donating groups favor the electrophilic substitution reactions at ortho and para positions of the benzene ring.

For example: -OH, -OCH3, -NH2, Alkyl groups favor electrophilic aromatic substitution in benzene.

The -I (negative inductive effect) groups, electron-withdrawing groups deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Examples: -NO2, -SO3H, halide groups, Carboxylic acid groups, carbonyl gropus.

Explanation:

Ionization reactions are reactions that involve an electrically neutral atom or molecule be converted into electrically charged atom or molecule (ions).

Ions are recognized by the (⁺) and (⁻) signs.

First Reaction: Ions are formed so this option is correct.

Second Reaction: Ions are formed so this option is correct.

Third Reaction: This option is wrong. No ions are formed.

Fourth Reaction: Ions are formed so this option is correct.

Fifth Reaction: Ions are formed so this option is correct.

Answer:

This question is asking whether the statement is TRUE OR FALSE

THE ANSWER IS TRUE

Explanation:

A concept, as rightly defined, is the general idea of an entity, which can include objects, events, animals, or people based on common features, traits, or characteristics. Hence, the CONCEPT of something refers to a a generalized idea about that particular thing.

A concept in other words is our thought about something i.e. how we conceive or think that thing to be. Concept is a phenomenon of the "MIND" since it is abstract and cannot be seen. Based on this, the definition given in the question is TRUE.

Which statement about Schrödinger's theory of the atomic model is true?

vekshin1

Answer : Option C) It explained the odds of finding the position of an electron.

Explanation : Schrödinger's theory of the atomic model is true for the probability of finding the electron around the nucleus. Schrödinger used odd mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in a certain position around the nucleus. This atomic model was known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom. He posed an equation which is now called as the Schordinger’s Wave Equation, which incorporates both the wave-like and particle-like behaviors of electrons, which stated that electrons can act like waves/light and particles. Which later helped to develop the uncertainty principle for finding the probable position of the electron.
