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_forward(1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many isomers can be formed in each case?arrow_forwardShow by means of chemical equations the initiation, propagation, transfer and termination steps (if any) in the linear chain polymerizations a) – d) below. For each reaction, clearly show the initiating species, active center, repeating unit and end- groups of the polymer chains that are formed and comment on the mechanism involved: a) Styrene initiated with potassium amide in liquid ammonia as solvent. b) Isobutylene (2-methylpropene) initiated with boron trichloride/tert-butyl chloride as catalyst in methyl chloride as solvent. c) 1,3-Butadiene initiated with n-buytylithium (CAH9LI) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 30°C and quenched with ethylene oxide followed by acidification. d) Propylene oxide initiated with potassium methoxide in methanol as solvent.arrow_forward
