Since this is not part of 14B syllabus, I doubt it would make a difference which Carbon you attach the Halide to. The question usually specifies the product formed, so just follow that. This is how it works --> ASYMMETRIC ACROSS DOUBLE BOND - both carbons have different number of hydrogens attached ...

The priority goes --

Functional Groups > Bonds (triple>double) > substituents.

So you would choose a numbering such that the functional group gets the lowest value.

E 0 cell = E 0 cathode - E 0 anode For a Spontaneous (favorable) cell E 0 cell is positive. So if both reduction reactions are given, try plugging the values into the equation above to see which combination gives you a positive value. The combination giving the positive value will tell you which rea...

Chloro and Bromo groups are large in size. Hence if they are placed close to each other, they will experience very high repulsion (ie the structure is unstable). They also experience repulsion from the hydrogen groups. To minimize the repulsion, thereby making the structure stable, these two groups ...

The first priority of numbering is given to the alkene group, that is the double bond. While numbering the carbons, we always go along the double bond. So in this case, we choose the lowest number for the carbon with the double bond, with the Cl group attached to it. This makes our double bond and o...

I drew them out below.
The dihedral angle is between the Chloro and the Bromo groups.

Hope this helps.

Naming structures with multiple double bonds follows the same principle as all other compounds. There is however, one small difference -- You retain the 'a' after the prefix (indicating the number of carbons) and put di, tri .... to indicate how many double bonds there are. For Example - CH 2 =CH-CH...

Dr. Lavelle hasn't covered benzene as a substituent in class. So, the questions assigned for homework also neglect the larger benzene problems. When benzene is the main ring, then you just write benzene For example - Chloro Benzene 1,2 Dichloro Benzene (orthodichlorobenzene) etc.. It is written as a...

You could draw the same structure if all the atoms bound to both the carbons are the same. For example - Ethane Or even if all were the same except one. For example - Bromo- ehtane However, when there are different groups around the carbons, say a Bromine (bromo), on one of the carbons, and Chlorine...

In amine compounds with multiple hydrocarbon substituents (2 or 3), if one of them has a substituent, which direction do we start naming it in. Should the Carbon attached to the Nitrogen get the lowest number (1) or should we try to make the substituent get the lowest number?

How to name an organic compound that has a hydrocarbon chain with substituents as a substituent. eg - CH3-CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 | H-C-H H-C-H H-C-H H-C-Br H-C-H H For some reason, this post shows the substituent attached to the 1st carbon. It is attached to the second Carbon.

When asked for delta G, being given Delta H0 and Delta S0, should we just plug in the given temperature (Delta G0 = DeltaH0 - T DeltaS0) or
calculate Delta G using -

Delta G = DeltaG0 + RT ln(Q) <Where DeltaG0 = DeltaH0 - (298)DeltaS0>

While writing the electronic configurations, we fill up orbitals from lowest to highest energy. For K and Ca we write the [Ar]4s (4s1 and 4s2). However, the next element, Sc , we write 3d before 4s. Is this the standard convention or does the energy of the 4s orbital increase due to the presence of ...
