Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Between which periods, Group 6A (16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained.
(b)
Interpretation:
Group 6A(16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained in terms of change in the molecular property.
Concept-Introduction:
Bond angle: It is defined as the angle between the orbital contacting bonding electron pair around the central atom in a molecule ion. Bond angle is expressed in degree.
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Geometry of a molecule can be predicted by knowing its hybridization.
(c)
Interpretation:
Group 6A (16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained in terms of change in hybridization.

- In the image, the light blue sphere represents a mole of hydrogen atoms, the purple or teal spheres represent a mole of a conjugate base. A light blue sphere by itself is H+. Assuming there is 2.00 L of solution, answer the following: The Ka of the left & right solution is? The pH of the left & right solution is? The acid on the left & right is what kind of acid?arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardWhat spectral features allow you to differentiate the product from the starting material? Use four separate paragraphs for each set of comparisons. You should have one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR. 2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too. 3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of functional group changes.arrow_forwardQuestion 6 What is the major product of the following Diels-Alder reaction? ?
