Answer:

An atom with 1 valence electron and an atom with 7 valence electrons

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

the number of valance electrons of oxygen are six and hydrogen is one that's why two hydrogen atoms are attached with one oxygen atom and complete the octet.

What change would you expect on the rate of theSN2 reaction of 1-iodo-2-methylbutane withcyanide ion if the nucleophile concentr

Answer:

The reaction rate of the both questions remain unchanged.

Explanation:

For question 1: The reaction 1-iodo -2- methylbutane with cyanide ion is an SN2 reaction because the Alkyl halide is a primary alkyl halide. The rate of reaction is dependent on concentration of the nucleophile and the alkyl halide at the same. For the rate of reaction to be affected (increased or decreased), the concentration of nucleophile and the alkyl halide have to be altered.

For question 2: The reaction of 2-iodo -2- methylbutane with ethanol is an SN1 reaction because the Alkyl halide is a tertiary alkyl halide. There are two-step reaction mechanism in this reaction. The first step is the rate determining step which determines the extent of the reaction and hence the rate of reaction. For the rate of reaction to be affected (increased or decreased), the concentration of the Alkyl halide alone will be altered. The rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile.

you go out to dinner and the bill comes to $35.51. how much should you tip if you want the tip to be 20% of the bill.

35.51 times 0.2 is 7.102
So you should tip $7.102
