Answer: Electronegativity increases across a period.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as ability of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons in a bond toward itself.

Electronegativity increases across the period because when we move across the period from left to right numbers of protons and electrons are increased. By increase in number of protons ,nuclear charge also increases due to which electrons present in an atom are strongly attracted towards the nucleus. And due to presence of strong nuclear charge shared pair of electrons in a bond are also attracted towards nucleus of an electronegative atom.

White raven [17]

Answers:
1) - COOH
2) carboxyl group

The organic acids contain the carboxyl group: - COOH.

Fats are structures composed by fatty acids. Fatty acids are long aliphatic chains with a carboxyl group at the end.

Aminoacids are chains that contains amine group (NH2) at one end and the carboxyl group at the other end.

Then both aminoacids and fatty acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names:(a) (Z)-2-Ethyl-2-buten-1-ol (b) 3-Cyclohexen-1-ol(c) trans-3-Chlorocycloheptanol (d) 1,4-Pentanediol(e) 2,6-Dimethylphenol (f ) o-(2-Hydroxyethyl)phenol

Explanation:

According to IUPAC rules, the name of a compound is:

Prefix+root word+suffix

1) Select the longest carbon chain and it gives the root word.

2) The substituents give the prefix.

3) The functional group gives the secondary suffix and the type of carbon chain gives the primary suffix.

The structure of the given compounds are shown below:
