U^235Number of protons = 92 pNumber of electrons = 92 eNumber of neutrons = 235 – 92 = 143n
U^238Number of protons = 92pNumber of electrons = 92eNumber of neutrons = 238 – 92 = 146n
Electron configuration of U atom U = 92 U = [Rn] 5f^6 6d^0 7s^0 U = [Rn] 5f^36d^17s^2, 7s is completely filled and others are less than half filled. 
(_92^238)U  Decays to (_90^234)ThIt loses 2 protons, 2 electrons and loses 2 neutrons Th = [Rn] 6d^2 7s^2 There is no electron in 5f subshell and 6d contains 2e^-, 7s completely filled

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 <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, 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 <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

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<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Use the molar bond enthalpy data in the table to estimate the value of Δ∘rxn
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol

Explanation:

  • CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(g) + 4HCl(g)

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4ΔH°HCl(g) + ΔH°CCl4(g) - 4ΔH°Cl2(g) - ΔH°CH4(g)

∴ ΔH°Cl2(g) = 0 KJ/mol.....pure element in its reference state

∴ ΔH°CCl4(g) = - 138.7 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°HCl(g) = - 92.3 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°CH4(g) = - 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4(- 92.3 KJ/mol) + (- 138.7 KJ/mol) - 4(0 KJ/mol) - (- 74.8 KJ/mol)

⇒  ΔH°rxn = - 369.2 KJ/mol - 138.7 KJ/mol - 0 KJ/mol + 74.8 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol

How do the physical and chemical properties the halogens compare with those of the noble gases? ​
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. ... The halogens tend to be very reactive, while the noble gases are in no way reactive and don't bond easily, if at all.
