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.
Provide a suitable synthesis for the reaction.
![The image depicts a chemical reaction represented by structural formulas:
1. **Reactant**:
- The structure on the left shows an aromatic ring with a methyl ketone group. The benzene ring (hexagonal with alternating double bonds) is bonded to a carbonyl group (C=O), which connects to a methyl group (—CH3).
2. **Arrow**:
- An arrow points from the reactant to the product, indicating the direction of the chemical reaction.
3. **Product**:
- The structure on the right includes the same aromatic benzene ring. However, it has undergone a transformation, resulting in the formation of a new six-membered, non-aromatic ring fused to the benzene. This additional ring contains a ketone group (C=O) and a chlorine atom (Cl) attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon.
The reaction demonstrates a chemical transformation involving the addition of a carbonyl and halogen to the initial methyl group, resulting in a more complex bicyclic structure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7d2bbc7e-fc0c-43e3-864b-fb079be15fa6%2F1720154b-dccb-4fbd-a6df-38c8657c968d%2Fpbdpvjl_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
