Select one: True or False 1- In case of homo-binuclear covalent bond (of atoms of the same element) and hetero-binuclear covalent bond of very low electronegativity difference (as that between carbon and hydrogen), the bond is very strong and of no or minimum polarity hence not cleaves in water 2-In this compound complexation ( in the image ) is used for qualitative/quantitative identification of phenolic compounds where salicylic acid is chelated by the iron metal in ferric chloride to form water soluble violet color complex 3-Complexes are of different stability some are stable only in aqueous other are stable in both solid and solution however, for the maximum complex stability high metal anaionic charge, small transient metal atom radius and occupied d orbital are required.
Two methods convert an alkyl halide to a carboxylic acid having onemore carbon atom. Depending on the structure of the alkyl halide, one or both of thesemethods may be employed. For each alkyl halide, write out a stepwisesequence that converts it to a carboxylic acid with one more carbonatom. If both methods work, draw both routes. If one method cannot be used, state why it can't.
Why is the reaction of the type shown below usually done? a.To make an aldehyde or ketone less water soluble b.To make the molecule more reactive c.To protect a ketone or aldehyde carbonyl d.To increase the oxygen content e.To make the alpha hydrogens more acidic
Suppose you have a mixture of these three compounds. Devise a chemical procedure based on their relative acidity or basicity to separate and isolate each in pure form.
When toluene is treated with sulfuric and nitric acids under special conditions, three nitro (NO2) groups are substituted for hydrogens at the 2, 4 and 6 positions on the ring (the next section discusses why the 2, 4, and 6 positions are substituted). The product is a highly explosive substance called 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. This subastance is commonly known by a three letter name. What is it?

Compound X is insoluble in cold KMnO4, Br2 in CCl4, and conc. H2SO4. Compound X is most likely: a. an alkane b. none of these c. an alkene d. an alcohol e. an alkyl halide Indicate which of the ff. statements regarding nucleophilicity is incorrect. F- is more nucleophilic, hence, more reactive towards methyl iodide than Cl-. Second row elements are more nucleophilic than first row elements of comparable basicity. The rate of SN2 reaction may be markedly affected by the nucleophilicity of the attacking atom. Nucleophilicity is the affinity of a nucleophile to an electrophilic carbon Which of the following alkynes can be deprotonated by NaNH2 in liquid NH3? 3-Methylhex-2-yne Pent-2-yne 3-Methylbutyne none of these Hex-3-yne
