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.

20. The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns. Because certain steps involve trimolecular reac tions, it is not a model of any real chemical system but rather a prototype that has been studied extensively. The reaction steps are A-X. B+X-Y+D. 2X+ Y-3X, X-E. 305 It is assumed that concentrations of A, B, D, and E are kept artificially con stant so that only X and Y vary with time. (a) Show that if all rate constants are chosen appropriately, the equations de scribing a Brusselator are: dt A-(B+ 1)x + x²y, dy =Bx-x²y. di
