Chapter 18, Problem 7Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reason for the larger energy changes for nuclear processes than chemical and physical processes is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The energy released in nuclear reactions is several million times higher than physical and chemical reactions. Nuclear reactions release energy in tremendous amount. The reason for this is the chain reaction involved in nuclear reactions. However, chemical and physical reactions do not move fast and hence these release a lesser amount of energy.

To determine: The reason for the larger energy changes for nuclear processes than chemical and physical processes.

Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products.  I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products.  That's the opposite of what the question was asking.  Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").  In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
