What are the methods of naming hydrocarbons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago

Explanation:

Hey there!

Basically, we name hydrocarbon in two ways. They are;

  • Trival system of nomenclature: This system was used on past. They were given name knowing their sources from which hydrocarbon are obtained. On this naming we don't use scientific rules and structural values. For example; methane was named from marsh gas.
  • IUPAC system of nomenclature: As the above method was not standard. IUPAC (International Union of pure and applied chemistry) improved the system and the started naming hydrocarbon. The IUPAC name of any compound contains two parts: root word and suffix. Example: Methane is named from root word <em>Meth</em> as it <u>has one no.of carbon</u> and suffix <em>ane</em> as it <u>has <em>single</em> <em>bonding</em>.</u>

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Basicity is measured on a scale called the pH scale. On this scale, a pH value of 7 is neutral, and a pH value of more than 7 to 14 shows increasing basicity.

pH value of 7 is weak base and value of 14 means strong base.

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?
Orlov [11]
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

Which formula correctly represents the product of an addition reaction between ethene and chlorine?
Serjik [45]
The formula that correctly represents the product of an addition reaction between ethene and chlorine is  C2H4Cl2
Addition reaction occurs when an atom is added to a compound that has a double bond or triple bond (unsaturated hydrocarbons). Unsaturated compounds are associated with addition reactions. For example Ethene is an example of unsaturated hydrocarbon; when reacted with chlorine gas , chlorine atoms are added to each carbon atoms.
