Chapter 12, Problem 20E

Amorphous silica, SiO2, has a density of about 2.2g\cm3, whereas the density of crystalline quartz, another form of SiO2, is 2.65 g\cm3. Which of the following statements is the best explanation for the difference in density?

  1. Amorphous silica is a network-covalent solid, but quartz is metallic.
  2. Amorphous silica crystallizes in a primitive cubic lattice.
  3. Quartz is harder than amorphous silica.
  4. Quartz must have a larger unit cell than amorphous silica
  5. The atoms in amorphous silica do not pack as efficiency in three dimensions as compared to the atoms in quartz.

Blocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see image **NOTE: The compound on the left is the starting point, and the compound on the right is the final product. Please show the steps in between to get from start to final, please. These are not two different compounds that need to be worked.
I dont understand this.
Can you please explain this prooblem to me, show me how the conjugation is added, did I add them in the correct places and if so please show me. Thanks!
