Answer:
Less
Explanation:
Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:
- The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
- The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand
A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:
I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO
Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.
Answer is D. The periodic table rows are arranged by increasing atomic number. The atomic number is decided by how many protons they have.

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?
A) 1 < 2 < 3
B) 2 < 3 < 1
C) 3 < 1 < 2
D) 1 < 3 < 2
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>
The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>
Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.
A carbonyl compound is a 
hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.
In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
The primary structure is the amino acids' unique sequence. The polypeptide's local folding to form structures such as the α-helix and β-pleated sheet constitutes the secondary structure. The overall three-dimensional structure is the tertiary structure
