Answer to Problem 11.1QP

Catenation of the carbon atom

Explanation of Solution

Carbon forms more compound than the other element

Catenation of the carbon atom.

Carbon forms the covalent bond with other atoms or other carbon atoms through catenation and forms longer chain and structures.

Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s22p2.

The outer electronic configuration of the carbon is four electrons that will be participating in the bond formation. Totally carbon will form four covalent bonds with the other atoms or carbon atoms. Moreover size of the carbon atom is small which form more strong covalent bond because of these reasons which make the Carbon forms more compound than the other element.

5. Compressibility (6 points total). The isothermal compressibility is a measure of how hard/easy it is to compress an object (how squishy is it?) at constant temperature. It is др defined as Br=-()=-(200²)T' (a) You might wonder why there is a negative sign in this formula. What does it mean when this quantity is positive and what does it mean when this quantity is negative? (b) Derive the formula for the isothermal compressibility of an ideal gas (it is very simple!) (c) Explain under what conditions for the ideal gas the compressibility is higher or lower, and why that makes sense.
19. (3 pts) in Chapter 7 we will see a reaction of halocyclohexanes that requires that the halogen occupy an axial position with this in mind, would you expect cis-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane or trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane to be more reactive in this reaction? Briefly explain your choice using structures to support your answer. Mere-eries-cecleone) The tran-i-browse-3-methylcyclohexione
