Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The following atoms need to be ranked in increasing order of electronegativity:
Si, P, S
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to pull bonding electrons towards it when two atoms formed a bond. Higher the electronegativity value, the higher the tendency to pull electrons towards the atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The following atoms need to be ranked in increasing order of electronegativity:
Be, Mg, Ca
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to pull bonding electrons towards it when two atoms formed a bond. Higher the electronegativity value, the higher the tendency to pull electrons towards the atom.
(c)
Interpretation:
The following atoms need to be ranked in increasing order of electronegativity:
Se, Cl, Br
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to pull bonding electrons towards it when two atoms formed a bond. Higher the electronegativity value, the higher the tendency to pull electrons towards the atom.

- For each scenario below, select the color of the solution using the indicator thymol blue during the titration. When you first add indicator to your Na2CO3solution, the solution is basic (pH ~10), and the color is ["", "", "", "", ""] . At the equivalence point for the titration, the moles of added HCl are equal to the moles of Na2CO3. One drop (or less!) past this is called the endpoint. The added HCl begins to titrate the thymol blue indicator itself. At the endpoint, the indicator color is ["", "", "", "", ""] . When you weren't paying attention and added too much HCl (~12 mL extra), the color is ["", "", "", "", ""] . When you really weren't paying attention and reached the second equivalence point of Na2CO3, the color isarrow_forwardTo convert cyclopentane-CH2-CHO to cyclopentane-CH2-CH3, compound A is added, followed by (CH3)3CO-K+, DMS at 100oC. Indicate which compound A is.arrow_forwardIndicate how to obtain the compound 2-Hydroxy-2-phenylacetonitrile from phenylmethanol.arrow_forward
