Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Metalloids are elements that possess properties between that of metals and non - metals or that have properties that a re a combination of those of metals and non - metals. Whereas a metal is one that conducts electricity and heat very well.

Now, the property they both share is that they both possess valence orbitals which are highly de-localized over macroscopic volumes, thereby allowing both of them to be conductors of electricity although it has to be said that Metalloids don't conduct electricity as much as metals.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an "anti-Markovnikov" reaction. This means that the "OH" will be added at the least substituted carbon of the double bond.

In the case of 2-methyl-2-butene, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon three producing 3-methylbutan-2-ol.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon 2 producing 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol.

Consider n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) →→ 2nh3 (g). what is the mass of nitrogen gas required to react with 0.129 g h2?

Flura [38]

The given chemical reaction given above is already balanced such that the number of atoms in the left hand side of the equation is equal to that of the right hand side. Using the dimensional analysis, proper conversion factors and the molar masses,

mass of nitrogen = (0.129 g H₂)(1 mol H₂/2 g H₂)(1 mol N₂/3 mol H₂)(28 g N₂/1 mol N₂)
mass of nitrogen = 0.602 g N₂

Therefore, 0.602 g of nitrogen will be required for he reaction.
