(a)
Interpretation:
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are represented shortly by the molecular formula and structural formula. Each and every compound has its own molecular formula. Compounds can have same molecular formula but not same structural formula.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. Therefore, there is no possibility of addition reaction. Alkanes undergo only substitution reactions.
(b)
Interpretation:
Dienes are more susceptible for addition reaction or substitution reaction has to be indicated.

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. Therefore, there is no possibility of addition reaction. Alkanes undergo only substitution reactions. Alkenes and cycloalkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one double bond in its structure. Addition reaction can take place across the double bond. Aromatic compounds undergo substitution reactions rather than addition reactions even though they contain double bonds. This is because the double bonds are involved in delocalization.

Interpretation:
Alkylbenzenes are more susceptible for addition reaction or substitution reaction has to be indicated.

What is the frequency difference between 2 consecutive modes?(refractive index of the medium n = 1).arrow_forwardThe number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
