States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Consider the reaction given below. What are the major products expected from the reaction of this molecule? Show all the possible MAJOR products including stereoisomers. Show the intermediate leading to each product.
![**Reaction Scheme:**
This image depicts a chemical reaction involving the bromination of an organic compound in the presence of light.
**Structural Details:**
- **Reactant:**
- The molecule on the left is a cyclic structure with additional alkyl branches.
- It is a hexane ring with two methyl groups and a three-carbon alkyl chain.
- **Reaction Conditions:**
- The arrow indicates the reaction proceeds to form a product under the influence of:
- **Br₂ (Bromine):** Used as the brominating agent.
- **hν (Light):** Represents the necessity of light (often in the form of ultraviolet light) to initiate the reaction, suggesting a free radical mechanism.
This type of reaction is typically associated with a radical substitution process where a bromine radical is generated under the influence of light, allowing for the halogenation of the alkyl side chain.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe66d42b3-064e-46e6-98d9-7acfd05fa94d%2F8e65f6b8-e701-435f-a02e-e4041819fb3f%2Frnpompd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
