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.
(b)

- A pdf file of your hand drawn, stepwise mechanisms for the reactions. For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- Draw the structure of the product of the reaction given the IR and MS data. Spectral analysis of the product reveals: MS: M 150, M-15, M-43 CH.COCI AICI, IR: 3150-3000 cm, 2950-2850 cm and 1700 cmarrow_forwardPart II.
