Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:  

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:  

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

What's the difference between a conductor and an insulator?<br><br>I'll mark you as brainliest ​
irina [24]

conductor are defined as the materials or substances that allow electricity to flow through them. Also, conductors allow heat to be transmitted through them. Examples of conductors are metals, the human body, Earth and animals. The human body is a strong conductor.

Any material that keeps energy such as electricity, heat, or cold from easily transferring through is an insulator. Wood, plastic, rubber, and glass are good <em><u>insulator</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
