Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Coconut oil, Olive oil and Sunflower oil

Explanation:

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long unbranched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

There are three main classes of fatty acids which are explained as under:

1. Saturated Fatty acids: These fatty acids have long carbon chain with two hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. This saturation of fatty acids make the fatty acids more stable towards high temperature. These fatty acids becomes solid at room temperature. Coconut oil and butter are the examples of saturated fatty acids.

2. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there is a carbon atom which is double bonded with another carbon atom and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of this single double-bond, the fatty acid is termed as monounsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are liquid at room temperature but solidify in refrigerator. Olive oil is an example of such fatty acids.

3. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there are two or more than two carbon atoms which are double bonded with each other and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of multiple double bonds, such fatty acids are termed as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because of higher unsaturation, these fatty acids are liquid in both normal room temperature and in refrigerator. Such unsaturation also make them unfit for cooking purposes. Sunflower oil, Soyabean oil and Flaxseed oil are examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Bromo-4-fluorohexane has two chiral carbon atoms; therefore, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers that can be formed is
Zepler [3.9K]

Here we have to draw the four isomers of the compound 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

The four isomers of the compound is shown in the figure.      

In an organic molecule the chiral -C center is that where four (4) different groups are present. In 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the 3 and 4 positions are chiral centers. The possible isomers of a molecule can be obtained from the formula 2n. As here 2 chiral centers are present thus number of stereoisomers will be 2×2 = 4.

The four different isomers as shown in the figure are 3R-, 4R-; 3S-, 4S; 3R, 4S and 3S-, 4R- 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

In the 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the functional groups are -Br, C₂H₅, -C₃H₆F and -H for 3-position and -F, -C₂H₅, -C₃H₆ and -H for 4-position respectively.

The priority of the -3 position will be Br > C₃H₆F > C₂H₅ > H and for -4 position F > C₃H₆Br > C₂H₅ > H. If the rotation from the higher priority group to lower is clockwise and anticlockwise then the S- and R- notation are used respectively. However if the -H atom is present at the horizontal position then the notation will be reverse.

Thus the four isomers of the compound is shown.
