The correct answer is either a or d. Can anyone explain which one it is and why? CH3C ≡ CCH2CH2Cl is named: a. 1-chloro-3-pentyne b. 5-chloro-2-pentene c. 1-acetylenyl-3-chloropropane d. 5-chloro-2-pentyne

The IUPAC name of is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

Explanation:

1. First select the longest possible carbon chain.  For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.

2. The longest possible carbon chain should contain all the bonds and functional groups.

3. The numbering is done in such a way that the carbon containing the functional group or substituent gets the lowest number.

4. The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne.

Thus the IUPAC name of is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
