Interpretation:
The formulas and names of the oxides of the second-period elements
Concept Introduction:
According to physical and chemical properties, the elements can be further divided into metals, non-metals and metalloids.
In a group, the metallic character of an element increases from top to bottom whereas in a period, it decreases from left to right.
The classification elements in the periodic table as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids can be given as
Figure 1
Diagonal relationship is the trend observed in the chemical behavior of a certain pairs of elements that are diagonally adjacent in different periods and groups in the periodic table.
Oxide is the compound formed when oxygen reacts with another element. Oxides formed with metals are basic
Oxides formed with metals are most probably basic. Most of oxides formed with nonmetals are acidic.
Amphoteric oxides have the properties of bases and acid. Elements that are in the intermediate position of periodic table form amphoteric oxide.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? What is the name of the intermediate complex? *See imagearrow_forwardPredict the final product. If 2 products are made, list which should be “major” and “minor” *see attachedarrow_forwardNucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forward
- Show the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forwardDraw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forward
