Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.
Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.
Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.
In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.
Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.
Answer:
This is because, Kelvins and Celcius degrees both agree at fixed points i.e; the lower fixed point and upper
The reaction is missing the Zn(s) in the reactants. The stoichiometry of the copper/zinc is 1 mole to 1 mole
Answer:o It is important to realise that mixing will be small unless there are electrons in the 4a1 LUMO, this is why NH3 is pyramidal while BH3 is planar! ... This mixing is very strong and stabilises the 3a1 MO substantially and hence NH3 is trigonal pyramidal and not planar.
Explanation:
Answer:
(1) addition of HBr to 2-methyl-2-pentene
Explanation:
In this case, we will have the formation of a <u>carbocation</u> for each molecule. For molecule 1 we will have a <u>tertiary carbocation</u> and for molecule 2 we will have a <u>secondary carbocation</u>.
Therefore the <u>most stable carbocation</u> is the one produced by the 2-methyl-2-pentene. So, this molecule would react faster than 4-methyl-1-pentene. (See figure)
