Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

It is clear that certain substituted benzene compounds reacts faster than benzene during electrophillic substitution reactions. This owes to the activation of the benzene ring towards electrophillic substitution by resonance.

The -OCH3 group is ortho- para directing hence it directs an incoming electrophile (such as during bromination) to the ortho or para position as shown in the image attached. This occurs due to resonance (mesomeric) effect as shown in the image attached to this answer.

what kinda energy is produced when a force causes a substance to vibrate, and the energy is transferred through the substance in
Mama L [17]

Thermal energy, or heat, is the internal energy in substances; it is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within a substance. The more thermal energy in a substance, the faster the atoms and molecules vibrate and move. Geothermal energy is an example of thermal energy.

Which atom in each pair has the larger atomic radius?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1. Potassium, K.

2. Calcium, Ca.

3. Gallium, Ga.

4. Carbon, C.

5. Bromine, Br.

6. Barium, Ba.

7. Silicon, Si.

8. Gold, Au.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Additionally, the unit of measurement of the atomic radius of chemical elements is picometers (1 pm = 10 - 12 m).

1. Li or K: the atomic radius of lithium is 167 pm while that of potassium is 243 pm.

2. Ca or Ni: the atomic radius of calcium is 194 pm while that of nickel is 149 pm.

3. Ga or B: the atomic radius of gallium is 136 pm while that of boron is 87 pm.

4. O or C: the atomic radius of oxygen is 48 pm while that of carbon is 67 pm.

5. Cl or Br: the atomic radius of chlorine is 79 pm while that of bromine is 94 pm.

6. Be or Ba: the atomic radius of berryllium is 112 pm while that of barium is 253 pm.

7. Si or S: the atomic radius of silicon is 111 pm while that of sulphur is 88 pm.

8. Fe or Au: the atomic radius of iron is 156 pm while that of gold is 174 pm.
