Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 2P
Methoxychlor is an insecticide that was intended to take DDT’s place because it is not as soluble in fatty tissues and is more readily biodegradable. It, too, can accumulate in the environment, so its use was also banned—in 2002 in the European Union and in 2003 in the United States. Why is methoxychlor less soluble in fatty tissues than DDT?

Q
Calculate the atomic packing factor of diamond knowing that the number of Si atoms per cm3 is 2.66·1022 and that the atomic radii of silicon and oxygen are, respectively, 0.038 and 0.117 nm.
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.
