Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The explanation that accounts for the fact that the radical
Concept introduction:
The order of relative stability of the radicals formed during a reaction are as follow:
The stability of the radical decides the path of the reaction. The path of the reaction will help is determining the products formed and can also be used in identifying the major product or thepreferred mechanism for a given reaction.
Hyperconjugation is an interaction between the sigma bond electrons and the adjacent atom’s empty or partially filled p-orbitals in improving the stability of the whole molecule.

- (d) Another variation on this type of polymer is used in hair gels. In these, the polymer chains are cross-linked by a compound known as pentaerythritol. но- OH но- OH pentaerythritol ( By what type of chemicat reaction are the cross-links in this polymer formed?

- Kindly answer question a & barrow_forward11c. Nylon 6 and poly(ε-caprolactone) have similar polymer backbone structure with one carbonyl, 5 methylene and a heteroatom, nitrogen or oxygen, respectively. Each is able to undergo crystallization. However, their thermal transition temperature differs significantly. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for Nylon 6 is 52 °C, whereas the Tg for poly(εcaprolactone) is 112 degree lower than Nylon 6 at – 60 °C. Similarly, the melting temperature (Tm) for Nylon 6 is 223 °C, whereas the Tm for poly(εcaprolactone) is 60 °C. Briefly explain the significant differences in the thermal properties of these two polymers.arrow_forward(1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene.
