What question would a student need to ask to form a compound with Group 16 nonmetals

1 answer:

5 0

Since nonmetals gain electrons, the correct question to ask about group 16 elements is; "Will group 16 elements gain electrons to bond with group 2 in an XY format?"

Group 16 elements are divalent and they form divalent negative ions. The periodic table is arranged in groups and periods. The elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. All elements in group 2 have six valence electrons.

If a wants to form a compound with the non metals of group 16, the correct question to ask is;"Will group 16 elements gain electrons to bond with group 2 in an XY format?"

Draw the product that valine forms when it reacts with excess CH3CH2OH and HCl followed by a wash with aqueous base.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to analyze the reagents. We have valine an amino acid, in this kind of compounds we have an amine group ( $NH_2$ ) and a carboxylic acid group ( $COOH$ ). Additionally, we have an alcohol ( $CH_3CH_2OH$ ) in the presence of HCl (a strong acid) in the first step, and a base ( $OH^-$ ).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an esterification reaction. In other words, an ester is produced. As the first step, the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the second step, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In step 3, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group ( $H_2O$ ). In step 4, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. Finally, a base ( $OH^-$ ) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate

See figure 1

Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is evidence of conduction?

Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

Conduction is a form of heat transfer between one body and another. It usually occurs when a warmer object is in contact with a cooler one. Heat generally flows from a region of high temperature to a place at a lower temperature.

Conduction is very pronounced in solid bodies.
The heat transfer causes a net transfer of the average kinetic energy of one body to the other.
Some examples are: heating of iron by a hotter metallic body, the pot hand getting hotter as cooking continues, cooling of ice by touching it.
