Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.
Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻
In above reaction,
OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile
CH₃-Br = Substrate
CH₃-OH = Product
Br⁻ = Leaving group
Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
Answer:
Choice A: Approximately
joules.
Explanation:
Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the
kilograms of mass.
,
where
stands for energy,
stands for mass, and
is the speed of light in vacuum.
The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of
?
The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:
Mass is in kilograms.
Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light,
.
Apply the mass-energy equivalence:
.
The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)
.
However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)
.
In other words, the mass defect here is also
.
Answer:
The outer core of the earth is liquid.
Explanation:
Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.
By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.
A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers
C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.
D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.
F BLOCK is the block on the period table that contains the actinide series of elements.
Actinide series of elements are two rows under the periodic table which include Lanthanide series and Actinide series. These are all radioactive elements and all of these are not not found in nature. All these are included in F block element.
