Concept introduction:
The structural formula is a simplified model that represents the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule.
In the IUPAC name of an organic compound, the Greek prefix indicates the number of the substituents present in the molecule. The numbers before the Greek prefix represents the positions of the substituents. Halogens are represented by ‘halo’ prefix. For example: if fluorine is substituted in the hydrocarbon chain, ‘fluoro’ prefix is used.
The format to name the molecule that contains a benzene ring is as follows:
The structure of benzene is as follows:

The format to name the molecule that contains a benzene ring is as follows:
The structure of benzene is as follows:
When two hydrogen atoms are substituted from the benzene ring, the prefixes such as ortho (o), meta (m) and para (p) are used to indicate the position of substituents. Ortho indicates 1, 2 position, meta indicates 1, 3 position and para indicates 1, 4 position with respect to each other.

- A laser emits a line at 632.8 nm. If the cavity is 12 cm long, how many modes oscillate in the cavity? How long does it take for the radiation to travel the entire cavity? What is the frequency difference between 2 consecutive modes?(refractive index of the medium n = 1).arrow_forwardA laser emits a line at 632.8 nm.

- For 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_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forwarde. f.
