Answer:

Paraffin > Heptadecane > Hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > Propane

Explanation:

It must first be establish that all the molecules listed in the question are alkanes. For alkanes, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of alkanes increases with increasing molecular weight. This is as a result of increase in the surface area of the molecule. Increase in surface area implies a greater degree of dispersion forces.

This is the reason why high boiling points are observed for high molecular weight alkanes.

The maximum number of electrons in a single d subshell is:
son4ous [18]

10 electrons

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons in a single d-subshell is 10 electrons.

The d-notation stands for an azimuthal quantum number or secondary quantum number.

This subshell can only accommodate a maximum of 10 electrons.

d- subshell has five orbitals

Each orbital is able to accommodate 2 electrons.

 Therefore 5 x 2 = 10 electrons

Indicate which reaction will occur faster. explain your reasoning. select the single best answer. solvolysis of 1−chloro−2,2−dim
Radda [10]
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.

In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.

When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.
