Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.

lara31 [8.8K]
Neil Bohr contributed towards science in many ways, but his contributions did not include the charge of an electron. Neil Bohr recognized a relationship between the chemical properties of a substance and the number of valence shell electrons. Moreover, he introduced the atomic model in 1913 and provided the liquid-drop model to explain nuclear fusion.

Which isomer of 1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide?
grigory [225]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Since potassium tert-butoxide is a strong bulky base, we expect that an elimination reaction predominates.

This reaction is expected to occur by E2 mechanism. The cis isomer of  1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane is known to react faster by E2 mechanism because it fulfills the anticoplanar arrangement required for for E2 mechanism, where the leaving group and adjacent proton must be anti to each other and in the same plane. The trans isomer can not fulfill this requirement.
