Why is succinate oxidized by FAD instead of NAD+? Why are polar solvents best suited for the SN1 reaction? Why is NaI in acetone used as a solvent for SN2 reactions and AgNO3 for SN1 reactions? Explain why 1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane has difficulty undergoing both sn^2 ...
Using bonding theory, explain whether it is easier for an O2 molecule to gain or lose an electron. Will the compound H2S experience hydrogen bonding? Explain. Is a bond formed between hydrogen and fluorine nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic? Explain. ...
Explain in terms of intermolecular attractive forces between structural units why H2O2 has a higher melting point than C3H8. There is a large difference in the melting points of o-nitoaniline and p-nitroaniline. Why? Explain on the basis of different hy...
Is a P-I bond ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent? Explain. Wax, C_{25}H_{52}, is extremely soft and malleable, while table salt, NaCl, is very brittle. Explain why this is so in terms of structure and/or bond types. Will...
NH3 d. H2O2 e. Al(OH)3 Describe the following as being a Bronsted acid, base, or both: a) H2CO3 b) HCO3-1 c) CO3-2 Give an example of a conjugate pair in which neither species is either a strong acid or base. (Identify the a...
Question: CH3CO2H, Resonance Structure: Some covalent molecules or ions are capable of resonance. This means that there are bonding valence electrons present in a portion of the structure, that can be delocalized (moved) between three or more atoms connected in sequence. The result i...
Is a bond formed between two chlorine atoms nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic? Explain.Is a Br-Br bond ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent? Explain.Explain in terms of intermolecular attractive forces between structural units why H2O2 has a...
