Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the compound
Concept introduction:
The general rules for writing the systematic names for covalent compounds are as follows:
1) The element with the lower group number is named first in the systematic name. The element present in the higher group number is named second. While naming the element in the higher group number, the suffix
2) If both the elements belong to the same group, the element present in the higher period number is named first.
3) To indicate the total number of atoms of each element in the compound, the Greek numerical prefixes are used. For the element named first in the systematic name, the Greek numerical prefix is used only when more than one atoms of the element are present in the compound.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
