How you rank the following items in order of complexity.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

lowest to Highest

Carbon atom

Methane molecule (CH4)

Graphite

Diamond

Explanation:

A carbon atom would be the lowest complexity on this list, that is because it is a lone molecule with no other bonding between other atoms. The same forces interacting between the carbon atom would be the same for the others.

Next would be methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon composed of a single carbon atom bonded covalently with four hydrogens. The electrons within the hydrogen atoms repel each other causing them to be dispersed around the carbon atom to form a   tetrahedral shape. While more complex, the other two are continuous structures made from carbon atoms bonded to gather to form crystal structures.

Graphite is considered to be a crystal structure, just like a diamond. However, the biggest difference between them is their atomic and crystal frameworks. Diamonds have a rigid 3-dimensional structure whilst graphite is composed of 2d planes of graphite with carbon-carbon double bonds connecting the layers. Due to this, a diamond would be more complex then grpahite

Draw the alkyl bromide(s) you would use in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 3-methylbutanoate.
Gennadij [26K]

The structure of the alkyl bromides used in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate.

Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate by Malonic ester synthesis.

The alkylation of diethyl malonate or a related ester of malonic acid at the carbon alpha (immediately next) to both carbonyl groups, followed by conversion to a substituted acetic acid, characterizes the chemical reaction known as the malonic ester synthesis.

As a result, it is evident from the structure of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate that ethyl and methyl bromides are the alkyl bromides employed.

Which equation correctly represents the electron affinity of the cesium atom? Cs (g) Cs1 (g)+2 e Cs+1 (g) Cs (g) + 1e Cs (g) OCs
DENIUS [597]

Answer : The correction equation will be:

Cs^+(g)+1e^-\rightarrow Cs(g)

Explanation :

Electron affinity : It is defined as the addition of electron to the atom or to the ion. The atom or ion is always in gaseous phase.

In other words we can say that, the gaining of electrons is said to be an electron affinity.

As, the given element is a metal given in cationic form, so its positive ion will gain an electron to form a neutral atom.

The balanced and correct equation for electron affinity of the cesium ion will be:

Cs^+(g)+1e^-\rightarrow Cs(g)

Why do Adams become magnets win their electrons are properly arranged
kogti [31]
Atoms become "magnets" when their electrons are properly arranged because whenever they have not enough or too many electrons, they will want to either give away an electron or take an electron, causing them to bond to other things.
