Chapter 7, Problem 7.26P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure of product and the reactant has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Free Radical:

A species that contains one or more unpaired electrons is called free-radicals.  Because of the unpaired electrons, free radicals are usually very reactive.

Lewis Structure:  A Lewis structure shows a covalent bond as pair of electrons shared between two atoms.

Procedure to write Lewis formulas:

  1. 1) The symbols of the atoms that are bonded together in the molecule next to one another are arranged.
  2. 2) The total number of valence electrons in the molecule is calculated by adding the number of valence electrons for all the atoms in the molecules.  If the species is an ion, then the charge of ion into account by adding electrons, if it is a negative ion or subtracting electrons if it is a positive ion.
  3. 3) A two-electron covalent bond is represented by placing a line between the atoms, which are assumed to be bonded to each other.
  4. 4) The remaining valence electrons as lone pairs about each atom are arranged so that the octet rule is satisfied for each other.

The electrons flow from the electron-rich atoms of the nucleophile to the electrons poor atoms of the alkyl halide. Identify the electron rich in the nucleophile. Enter the element symbol only, do not include any changes.
Hello, I am doing a court case analysis in my Analytical Chemistry course. The case is about a dog napping and my role is prosecution of the defendant. I am tasked in the Area of Expertise in Neutron Activation and Isotopic Analysis.   Attached is the following  case study reading of my area of expertise! The landscaping stone was not particularly distinctive in its decoration but matched both the color and pattern of the Fluential’s landscaping stone as well as the stone in the back of the recovered vehicle. Further analysis of the stone was done using a technique called instrumental neutron activation analysis. (Proceed to Neutron Activation data)     Photo Notes: Landscaping stone recovered in vehicle. Stone at Fluential’s home is similar inappearance.   Finally, the white paint on the brick was analyzed using stable isotope analysis. The brick recovered at the scene had smeared white paint on it. A couple of pieces of brick in the back of the car had white paint on them. They…
